Shutterlady Posted April 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I've always booked my own airfare. We always fly in the day before we cruise. If you book with Princess EZAIR it looks like it only gives you options of flying in the day of. Is this the only way that program works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted April 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2018 No - you can change the dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted April 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Just put in the dates you want before pricing it out. It's like any other airline's website. You enter the airports you want, the class of service, how many stops and the dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted April 15, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2018 You can adjust the dates any way you want. We almost always fly in a day early, and have stayed as much as a week after a cruise when I booked thru EZ Air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising with Us Posted April 15, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 15, 2018 We also booked to arrive the day before. No problem. The great thing was the fare through Princess was actually a little cheaper than through the airline (Delta). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted April 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I change the dates all the time. Not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted April 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2018 EZair has options similar to booking through other sources including arriving earlier, returning home later and different arrival & departure airports. In addition by booking Flexible EZair flights payment is not due until the cruise’s final payment and changes to flights and/or airfare can be made. For example for a cruise from Southampton, I could fly into Amsterdam a few days early, fly to London for the cruise and return home after a few days in London. I could even skip the AMS/LHR flight & could independly book the Chunnel to England. By changing the date, many European airports are available to chose either before or after a cruise.

JC13 Posted April 15, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Greetings, yes, the selection of arrival and departure dates can be manipulated by adjusting the departure and return dates. I have done that in order to arrive early, for some sight seeing and the same for returns. This may also require one to opt out of the transfers, especially on the return if one is not returning to the airport when arriving at the final destination. It saves a little on the transfers, money that can then be applied to whatever means of return transportation is used. On another note, I keep seeing notes about EZAir saving a little on the airfare I maybe missing something as our savings were over 7K per person for business class, which for us is a whole lot! I found EZAir business fares to be just a bit over the price of a coach seat Premium economy was almost identical to the cost of a business class seat on the individual airlines website. This was my first time using EZAir and I am sold on their services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my first time using EZAir and I am sold on their services. Two days ago, the price of my EZ Air flights decreased, so I was able to take advantage of the fare decrease. The same flights thru the airline are about $100 pp more than my current cost. I realize that's not a huge difference, but every bit counts. On our international flights, we saved about $500pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfuzzy Posted April 15, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 15, 2018 This is the first time I have used EZ air, I had always gotten a decent price, but this time, with the air "sale" I looked into it and saved over $200, pretty much 50%. Now the air on the web is almost $780, I paid $200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennisobo Posted April 15, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I used ez air on my January cruises. By checking with Princess online I got fare drops twice. It was very flexible. I was even able to fly to the cruise into FLL and got a good deal flying home from PBI. It was no problem with ez air.

Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit modify and can look but if you don't fully change them, your existing flights stay the same. At first I was a little scared but it is pretty clear when you do want to change the flights as opposed to just look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I was a little scared but it is pretty clear when you do want to change the flights as opposed to just look. I was hesitant to try rebooking Flexible EZair for the first time so I called Princess to ensure that I was doing it correctly. My cruise reservation is through a TA but I directly made my EZair reservation online. Princess happily walked me through the process & now I feel more comfortable with it & have made several changes through the Cruise Personalizer.

diane.in.ny Posted April 16, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Just be sure to note that on your outbound, the EZAir website asks you for your ARRIVAL date, not the date you plan on departing from home. This is particularly important on overnight flights and if you cross the international dateline. For instance, I put in I want to arrive on the 28th. I'll be leaving home on the 26th and the flights come up perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
