Hi ladyruby,

 

P&O use charter flights, Thompson, Thomas Cook, Etc They have been fairly dire but I am lead to believe that there has been some improvement of late.

 

However they cannot be faulted for their transfer arrangements. When you land you stay on the cool plane until a bus is available to take you directly to the ship where you check in and go to your cabin. So you do not enter the terminal and neither does your luggage which is in containers and is taken direct to the ship also.

 

Hope this helps

 

 

 

:):)Happy Cruising:):)

 

 

 

 

:cool:

Yes there are direct flights from Manchester, this year it looks like P&O are using Thomsons from Manchester

For our P & O Arcadia cruise departing 14th December from Barbados we will be flying Thomas Cook direct from Manchester.

We are flying First Choice from Manchester to Arcadia on 14 November.

Those airlines didn't show up on the Manchester Airport site for some reason.

[Janey]

No they won't show up as they are charter flights thus operated by P&O and not by the airline. The rules are completely different as far as food, drink, seat size and luggage allowance are concerned. You don't know what you are getting till you board the plane.

[Elsea]

Tickets have arrived and we are flying with First Choice direct from Manchester not Thomas Cook as I mentioned in an earlier post.

[Elaine0138]

The flights that I found all had P&O cruises as the operator and Thomson as the carrier.

[Elsea]

I have not cruised with P & O before and I don't know with which airline they usually use. I knew we were on a charter flight our tickets are definitely for a First Choice.

Someone has posted on P&O CRUISE CONNECTIONS today and said they had a great flight - best ever - with First Choice, so you should be lucky

Just back from Barbados on saturday flying first choice into Manchester and this was definately our best ever long haul flight. Loads of leg room in economy with seat back televisions, good choice of movies & games to keep you occupied. Flights were on time both ways which is always a bonus aswell. Well done P&O as this has been a problem in the past.

Hello

We are booked on Ventura 5th Dec 2008. Can anyone advise me if the flights will be direct to Barbados or do they make a technical stop (fuel) in America.

Thank you

Steve

When we cruised with Princess last year we flew direct to Barbados. Our flight with First Choice 14th December this year is also direct to Barbados.

 

I love to fly into Barbados as you disembark the plane directly onto mini buses that take you directly to the ship. Your luggage is sent to your cabin and there is no waiting in a long line at immigration.:D
