hsaroya Posted April 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Am curious to know what the most you've ever paid to fly to the port city has been. If you want to play along, indicate your departure and arrival cities along with the total cost for your most expensive cruise flight ever. If you think this question is unseemly and boorish, find another sandbox to play in! :) Yup, I'm incredibly nosy. I'll start. Edmonton, Canada to Fort L: $900 Christmas time Sadly, as a teacher, can only get away at the highest priced times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janabm81 Posted April 12, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I tend not to book a cruise unless we can get good airfare. The most we've paid is $600 per person from Kansas City to San Juan. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book the most off-season cruise and air I can find! :D So looking forward to that day. Those of you who can do that now have no idea how much I envy you your choices!

Nebr.cruiser Posted April 12, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 12, 2013 We usually don't book long flights unless we can use FF miles, so our most expensive is probably about $300 from Omaha to Miami area--and that's a high estimate. Normally we use FF miles for shorter flights too. Non-cruise, we once went on a Thailand & Vietnam guided tour. Air was included in the price, but we upgraded to business class for $1000 each. 22 hours later, we were glad we did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted April 12, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I find that my air flight has always been more than the cruise fare itself. :( (We are driving this time around...as much as I hate to, just to save money). We usually pay around $1500 for 3 people from Ohio to Florida or NOLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted April 12, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Ours would be around $1,600 from NC to Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm Breezes Posted April 12, 2013 #12 Share Posted April 12, 2013 $225 pp GRR to MCO. If I can't get it around the $200 mark, DH insists we drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach1213 Posted April 12, 2013 #13 Share Posted April 12, 2013 $5.00 per person in fees, MCI-FLL-MCI. In first class. God bless frequent flier miles :) We flew business class from Greenville, SC to Sydney for about $4000 per person round trip Wow, that's cheap! I regularly (several times a year) fly J class Kansas City to Melbourne return and it's usually $8,000 or so on Qantas, including next month.

vivian02 Posted April 12, 2013 #16 Share Posted April 12, 2013 After 11 cruises the most expensive was January of 2010. I have always booked airfare cheaper than the cruise. Cruise per person was $1199 for a 14 day circle of New Zealand out of Sydney. Airfare from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Sydney was $1030 per person....what a deal.

hsaroya Posted April 12, 2013 Author #20 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks for playing along, everyone! Interesting to see the huge spectrum of fares. I've almost convinced myself that I need to do an Alaskan cruise out of Vancouver just so that I can either drive (13 hrs one way from Edmonton) or fly for about $350 round trip - getting tired of paying about the same for air as I am for a Christmas cruise out of Fort L! Hmmm... Expecting 5-10 cm of snow tonight in what is turning into an endless winter, so the thought of an Alaskan cruise is quickly losing its appeal. Oh, well, I'll continue biting the bullet on the airfare to escape winter's wrath for a couple of weeks at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheckersMidwest Posted April 13, 2013 #22 Share Posted April 13, 2013 And I felt bad for $1600 for 4 from Kansas City to Ft Lauderdale. Since 1994 I could get roundtrip air to Orlando for $280, until now. The most I've paid is $440 each from KC to Nassau, but not a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a small small world! :) Not Zach, but we get our FF miles mostly from using our credit card that earns miles for everything that we can. We pay it off every month, and also can use it for business expenses, so it adds up. We've taken many overseas trips, often in Business Class, for only a few dollars in taxes, Usually $100 or less. We don't pay for air tickets unless it is a really, really good deal; sometimes in that case the FF miles are better used for longer/business tickets. It's hard to find the cheap prices any more, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
