LAS!!1414 Posted July 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Today, I cancelled a one way EZAir booking for a cruise that is not due for final $$ until Nov 28, 2023. I had not paid any $$ for this reservation. I then rebooked ( same dep/ret cities ) a round trip EZair reservation, only to find out that I had to pay in full for the new flight itinerary, before final cruise payment. Why ???

Abercrombie2019 Posted July 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Are you booking "Flexible" or "Restricted" fare? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ^^^ Restricted fares have to be paid in full immediately and are not refundable. Flexible fares must be paid in full with the cruise final payment but are refundable until 45 days from flying. Oddly enough, most times one will see Flexible Fares are lower in price than Restricted Fares. There are exceptions. Restricted fares are ticketed immediately, Flexible Fares are not ticketed until within the 45 day window. There is a reservation, just no ticket number. This sometimes causes with seat assignments on some airlines. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then I'm stumped too. I'd be calling Princess as painful as that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talked to my vacation planner -- this is a casino ( free room ) reservation. She said, if I cancel the original air resveration and rebook, then I have to pay for the new EZAir flight.up front. Don't know if this makes sense -- this is what I was told. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had one cancelled by changing EZAir on our own. It took our travel agent to get everything back in place. Good thing you checked with your planner. I would contact them again to double check that everything is OK once the change is made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
