garyc20 Posted February 20, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2022 For cruises out of San Pedro does Oceania use LAX or Long Beach usually when on Oceania Air program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlyerTalker Posted February 20, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Well, since aside from Southwest, the only flights into LGB are: Delta - three daily from Salt Lake City American - once daily from Phoenix American - once daily from Dallas I would wager that any air contracts would be in and out of LAX. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It clearly states that it is and we’ve used it in the past. For our upcoming cruise we’ve taken O-Life and have spun out the air since we’re driving to the port, thus receiving a reduction in cost by what they call an air credit.

Oceania's marketing of these options is quite confusing, perhaps on purpose, as they market OLife with Air as "package." When you look at the online pricing, this package is called OLife Fare w/Airfare, so it's pretty specific that there is an OLife fare and a separate airfare. You can choose OLife with air; OLife without air. air without OLife, or cruise only (no OLife and no air). OLife is imply a choice on one of three options, which you pay for in the price of the cruise with OLife alone (OLife Fare).

In nearly 19 years of sailing with O I have never realized this. Our exceptional TA has always worked her magic on our behalf so we have never bothered to look at this in depth.

You're welcome...and not alone. Buried in many of the threads on this Board, confusion over this distinction has been a reoccurring subtopic. I wish that O would be clear up front, but who am I to tell them marketing strategy? Edited February 20, 2022 by 1985rz1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say he drinks a lot, he just doesn’t like a surprise bill at the end of the cruise. We tend to do our own excursions so that’s not an issue.

I always feel people have their own ideas of what is best for them.. Jancruz1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiidan Posted February 21, 2022 #21 Share Posted February 21, 2022 As a note... Uber and taxi are or have been prohibited from dropping off or picking up at LAX which is undergoing heavy constructing pre Olympics in a few years. The new LAX plan is for you to be dropped at the Transportation center off site... There, you have to board an airport bus ( free) Id check LAX as it is really screwed up there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that Uber can drop folks off at the various terminals, but pickup from the terminals is centralized...i.e. go to a terminal spot for the bus for a free trip to where the Ubers are lined up and waiting. I tried to Google the current rules, but I couldn't find any change from this scenario. Do you have a link that shows the change?

I quit using LAX when it started ONT, SAN, SNA, BUR< PSP. So no I have not seen the policy. However, the scene is really messed up with construction these days... see it on TV every day... some problem. For Long beach cruises I would fly to SNA NOT LAX it is about the same dist.
