JayRich65 Posted May 12, 2022 #27 Share Posted May 12, 2022 There have been a lot of post on FB about folks not have flights ticketed at 45 days, if under 45 days, I would encourage you to call and get them ticketed. If outside of 45 days, I would request early ticketing if you're comfortable with flights and price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgwest Posted May 12, 2022 #28 Share Posted May 12, 2022 AA allows seat selection at the time of EZAir booking. Maybe others do as well but living near DFW, we’re kinda married to AA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know if it has been "ticketed" so I can have her check? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see your reservation and book seats on United? you are concerned that Princess will default on their payments to United and your United reservation will be cancelled? Never heard of this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of this happening. I would be concerned. I have seen a few cases where the airline has cancelled due to non payment by EZAIR. I’m sure the airlines do have a time limit set for payment and ticketing. What it is, I do not know. It may vary between airlines. Regardless, I would request ticketing immediately from EZ Air. I would check my travel summary afterwards or UAL website to make sure I see the ticket numbers after the ticket has been issued. I always travel with a copy of the eticket from the airline, as proof. If you have a TA, get them involved. If not, I’d be on the phone with EZ Air. Recently, a lot of problems due to cancelled flights, so they are working by date of travel. But, so close to travel date, I’d want those tickets issued. They did charge your credit card, right?

Should show your flight information and ticket numbers. Also, go to the United App and look up your booking. The airline booking no should be shown on your EZ Air booking. Or in United find your trip with your name, flight etc. You should be able to look at the eticket receipt and see those ticket numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeMark Posted June 6, 2022 #37 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Friend of mine on hold FOR SIX HOURS AND TWENTY MINUTES. EZair for the end of the month to Europe. Reservation completely disappeared - gone. So she just held and held. Finally got someone and got ticketed. WHEW. Say this "if someone else has to call and be put on hold with Princess Air, tell them not to hang up when the music stops. The first princess lady mentioned that she was transferring me to the AIR department that there might be some silence when I was transferred. I didn't notice anything right away but about 40 minutes before the second lady answered (about 4 hours after being transferred), the music stopped and I could still hear some noise if I turned the volume up real loud. I remembered what the first lady mentioned so I stayed on the line. Glad I didn't hang up." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We reserved our ba flight to and from London for sept. Final air fare has not yet been paid. Was not able to book seats on the Princess site, HOWEVER, went to ba site and entered the confirmation number showing on manage my flights, and surprisingly was able to select any seat at no cost! Saved us about $400 in seat cost! Economy class or business class or first class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the PCL website, manage my cruise, cruise personalizer, look at your travel summary… you’ll see at the top of the page.. luggage tags and travel summary Click on print travel summary… EZ Air booking: You should see next to your name ticket number….. Once it’s ticketed. The website for most airlines have a receipt button, where you can email it to yourself, only if it’s ticketed. You can also call the airline, ask if it’s been ticketed. If you have a TA, they would know. After final payment….EZ Air usually tickets about 45 to 30 days before sailing. You probably are too early to be ticketed, but check it out, so you’ll be prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised to learn that you know of several cases where an airline was forced to cancel an otherwise valid flight, because EZair had neglected to pay for the flight. I am shocked. I assume that this did not actually happen to you? Were the passengers able to get their flights reinstated? I am going to keep my EZ Air reservation and assume that there is more to that story.

Only what I have read on the forums from guests who have had problems. i use EZAir when the price is better than I can book myself with the airline, or I use miles quite often. I do have bookings on EZ Air for 2023. The posters came on the forum to ask for help. Many times they ask for advise and you never hear from them again. The ticketing is set up programmatically and should be automatic. There may have been a schedule change and somehow it did not get rebooked. Who knows? Would be really nice if the poster would let us know on the forum. That’s why I would always check the booking on the airline website and make sure it’s ticketed.

Yardbob Posted June 6, 2022 #45 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Just got off the phone with EZAIR for the third time in the last 3 weeks. They always say 5-7 days it will be ticketed. I'm 14 day for my European cruise and a little concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll note one had not been ticketed and the big issue was due to a schedule change. There are always going to be schedule changes. So, make sure you have the airline App on your phone and you can check schedule changes all the way up to the travel date. Bottom line: I will continue to use EZAIR and watch my flights for schedule changes and ticketing. You should do this even if you book yourself or through a TA. Sorry if I’ve complicated this.

Did you check with the airline to make sure your flights and times were the same? Your seats are assigned, if allowed? If you call the airline again, ask them if their is a deadline for ticketing?

The OP did say that the flight shows on the Airline site and that the Airline told them that EZ Air has not yet paid for the flight. Like you, I always track by Cruise air reservation on the actual airline site. I suspect that most cruiser that have problems associated with EZ Air are issues caused by the airlines cancelling or significantly changing a flight. The OP said that there has been not change to their actual flight. I can certainly understand anxiety over a flight leaving in about 14 days.
