Tedferg Posted September 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Our friends have added EZ air flights to an upcoming cruise. So how do we check fares and select a lower one if available ? I have only done test bookings to compare fares from week to week. Now that they have chosen their Flexible flights I assume that will show up on their Personalizer - does it include an 'Update' button ? Does it have a way to compare fares ? Alternatively, should they do test bookings to compare fares. What do they do next if they find a lower fare ? Cancel original and rebook ?

Not quite sure why when your friends have added flights to THEIR cruise YOU need to check the fares on THEIR personalizer? Won't you have to log on with their user name and password? In the past for my flights on my cruise and my personalizer I have cancelled the original flexible fare and booked the new lower price one.

They just go into the cruise personlizer, select Travel Arrangements and then select Add or Modify Flights and follow the prompts. Just don't select any changes by mistake unless they are certain they want to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedferg Posted September 28, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Not quite sure why when your friends have added flights to THEIR cruise YOU need to check the fares on THEIR personalizer? They are not proficient on computer or Princess website - however I do not have access to their passwords etc. I will usually check and advise them what to do.

When you choose Add or Modify what are the options ? e.g. does it stay with original flights and let you choose new fare or do all flight options pop up ? Just trying to imagine how website works - I guess a call to Princess is always an option. I assume TA does not handle EZ Air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua2 Posted September 28, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2018 You (they) don't have to keep doing test bookings. When they choose Add or Modify flights, all available flights according to the dates/parameters they put in will show up. Just don't finalize new choices unless you mean it.

Colo Cruiser Posted September 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2018 In our experience test bookings are not always accurate and if you see something lower then you have to log into the booking and hope it will still be there or even show up. It is best to go into the booking and click add/modify. Its very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect - thank you, our friends will be able to handle that - just one of those things, I would sooner not have access to their password. I have not booked with EZ Air so am not familiar with the process. Thanks also to Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a dangerous business making reservations for others, I am not brave enough, but anyway thanks for reminding me about flights, I just went and found Southwest flights cheaper with 2 free checked bags than EzAir United flights I had booked so I cancelled Ezair. Southwest sale today.It came up on my phone as an ad. Now I wonder how the refund of my flexible EzAir fares will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks also to Keith. Glad to help....... During that process when a new fare is chosen it will bring up the old fare and the new fare side by side with the fare comparison. ;) Just make sure they don't hit cancel flights.

Tedferg Posted September 28, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I have been checking EZ air while they dithered whether to use AA miles or not. AA return options were terrible. It was $968 for two when I suggested EZ Air, then $1,012 when they checked, $1,030 when they booked and I see it is $1,148 today ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedferg Posted September 28, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted September 28, 2018 San Jose to Vancouver May 27 then Anchorage to San Jose June 5 - 2019. just checked Skyscanner - thanks I had not heard of that. Options for similar itinerary were $1,052 versus $1.035 they have selected. Cancellation and insurance benefits with EZ air make that best option.

Griller Posted September 28, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 28, 2018 San Jose to Vancouver May 27 then Anchorage to San Jose June 5 - 2019. So sorry, I have no competence on that route. All I would say is make sure you get the correct San Jose! Aren't there several? Its usually my answer at Trivia if I don't know the capital city of some South / Central American country. I heard last week of someone who arrived at our airport and who actually thought he had booked to Melbourne Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
