High C's Posted September 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Would someone be able to advise if it is possible to book via EZAir to a point that is NOT the embarkation port for the cruise? We are cruising out of Copenhagen next year, but would like to start our vacation in a different city about a week earlier, and make our way there. Is this possible? Many thanks in advance. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want to fly to Edinburgh, take in the Tattoo, and then grab a one way flight to Copenhagen. Our flights are still not available, so I haven't been able to play around to see if this could be done.

Many thanks! Jackie...I’d recommend changing the date first because otherwise you get this warning because flights on departure date can only be to the embarkation port. Would a similar itinerary for an earlier date to Edinburgh be available which I do for an airfare preview.

Many thanks! You can book the entire flight with the stopover using EZAir. Select Copenhagen and the appropriate date for your destination. Then select the option to add a stop, and put in the arrival and departure dates for Edinburgh. This is a relatively new feature with EZAir, so I haven't heard from anyone yet who has used it, but it looks as if it could be perfect in your case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted September 22, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Yes you can........ We booked EZ Air and flew to Milan to visit family then took the train to Venice to meet the Regal to start our cruise. We had the normal EZ Air return flight from Barcelona. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are only about 10 days until we are 330 out, so we should be able to book soon. And the tattoo tickets are not on sale until December, so there is no panic. I just wondered if it was even possible before I amp up my excitement! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, this is a b2b. We booked them seperately, so we have two different booking numbers. I just assumed we could book the flight over using booking #1, and then our flight home using booking #2. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s been my experience. I don’t think a MedallionClass B2B would affect that procedure. Our Spring 2019 B2B 7-day cruises (only way to book it) were separate using my Cruise Personalizer but for OceanReady it was a single 14-day cruise with 2 booking numbers & 1 OceanMedallion. We drove to LA & flew to Maui from YVR & hopefully it won’t affect your ability to book 2 one-way flights.

Many thanks! One caveat though. If EZAir has not been allocated seats with the airline(s) that fly from Edinburgh to Copenhagen you will not be able to book that leg through them. In our case we have a cruise that ends in Rome, but we are flying home from Gatwick. The obvious airline is Easyjet, but EZAir has no availability for that airline, or any other for that matter. As such we have booked that leg seperately on the Easyjet website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm not terribly concerned for our flight home, as its just a quick jump from NYC to Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what we originally planned, so if it doesn't go through EZAir, its not that difficult to book a quick one way from Edinburgh to Copenhagen.

MHF Posted September 22, 2019 #19 Share Posted September 22, 2019 What about after the end of a cruise? We want to spend about 5 more days on our own in Alaska, not on a Princess tour. But when I try to book homeward flights, it will only let me select the day of disembark or the day after. Am a first time EZ Air user.

DebbieMacG Posted September 22, 2019 #20 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I would suggest that you don’t necessarily book the Edinburgh to Copenhagen part through EZ air because it’s really easy and cheap to book with Norwegian air on this route. I’ve done it many times. Compare pricing before you book 🙂 If you are staying in Edinburgh and budget allows then please consider staying at Prestonfield House (hotel) I can guarantee you won’t regret it. Enjoy Scotland 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the end of your cruise is 329 days from now, that would explain your problem, and all you would need to do is wait a few days to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! That must be it! I need to wait another 4 days in order to book that Monday we want to leave. Our cruise leaves Aug 5 for a week. We are looking at flying home on Aug 17. Time to call another cruise meeting of the 3 ladies traveling together to work on return flights next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I returned often to visit family, and now my husband loves it as much as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that is possible the way it's booked. The return would have to be at the end of the first cruise if one tried to book a round trip. One direction on each booking. Outgoing one way on the first booking and the one way return on the 2nd booking if I am understanding this correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
