aggiejd2000 Posted August 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I found a good price on a July 2023 cruise in Europe. With the extra $250 OBC sale and a $200/pp flight credit, I thought it was a good time to book. After I booked, I tried searching for a flight but there was nothing available on the website so I called Celebrity to ask about how to claim the flight credit. Well, I found out that the flight credit is only available if a flight is available. Since our cruise is almost a year out, there's no flights yet. The fine print only says that you have to book the flight during the period the flight credit is offered but says nothing about what happens if flights are not yet available 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may also be worth having a plan B. Book a fully refundable DIRECT (if possible) flight on your own, this way if for whatever reason you can't get what you want thru Celebrity then you have a back-up plan. I feel this is especially true in the current air/airport situations, it may improve by the time you sail but then again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted August 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2022 You are getting close to booking limits for flights - airlines allow booking 330 days before the flight. So you will need to wait until the end of the cruise hits that. We tend to book cruises early and not unusual to have to wait to book our flights.
