Houston to Lagos

CONTINENTAL AIRLINES has confirmed plans to start daily 787 flights between Houston and Lagos in November 2011, launching what would be its first-ever service to Africa (subject to government approval).  Like Texas, Nigeria is a major oil producer.  The approximately 6,500-mile flight will be operated with a Boeing 787-8 seating 36 passengers in BusinessFirst and 192 in Economy.  Flight time is about 11 hours eastbound and 12 hrs 30 mins in the other direction. www.continental.com
