alcpa1 Posted September 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Whether you use a TA or book directly, do your homework. Do not rely on either Cruise Air or a TA to arrange your flights. Let them know exactly what you want and do not book until you are satisfied with the results. If you are booking domestic flights for embarkation day you will have more control over your flights if you book directly. This is particularly important if you have connections. If you are booking one way flights for a transatlantic cruise, for example, Cruise Air may be an option if you want to be on a US based airline. When your flights are booked monitor your flights for changes via the airline's web site. If you have questions about Cruise Air - or flights in general post on the Cruise Air Discussion Forum BEFORE you book. There is a Sticky at the top of the page that provides great detail about third party booking agents like cruise air programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always use Choice Air, especially on Trans Atlantic flights, and have our TA do it for us. Here is the thing. Be very sure your TA has the name on your plane reservation exactly as it appears on your passport. If it isn't you could be denied boarding your flight. Our TA did that to us and we really had to scramble at the 11th hour. That travel agent is no longer our travel agent. The other thing is booking with a domestic carrier does not necessarily guarantee you will fly that carrier. You could be flying on one of their alliance partners. It's sad to say, but we have found flying a foreign carrier is often cheaper and the service superior to one of our domestic carriers. Enjoy your cruise! We are doing a Trans Atlantic in 53 days and can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
