Here's an important note: let's talk about busy times versus hold times, and what we mean by the best time to call. When we talk about busy or less busy times, we're really just referring to how many calls are coming in. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Continental Airlines phone number (and, naturally, the least busy times have fewer people calling). Now, a lot of calls coming in doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a long hold time when you call. That's because companies like Continental Airlines staff their call centers differently throughout the day and week, so you might actually experience a shorter wait on hold even during their busiest times. So, when we mention the 'best time to call,' we're talking about that sweet spot where there's a lower call volume *and* shorter wait times.
Saturday's your quietest day to call Continental Airlines. Monday, however, is their busiest, averaging 64% more phone calls. We based this on a sample of 771 calls made using our AI-powered, web-based phone over the last 90 days, so Monday's busiest and Saturday's quietest.
Turns out, the shortest hold times are on Tuesday. On average, you'll wait the longest in the queue on Monday. But honestly, if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you won't really need to worry about those average wait times. Just remember our services: call and talk for me, wait on hold for me.
