Charter flight from Manaus to Florida

[Spikesgirl]

We are doing the Amazon cruise with Princess in January and was wondering if someone could answer a question about the flight. Is there only one level of serivce on the plane or is there also first and/or business class. We are getting conflicting stories from the airline and our TA. They also said the flight was five hours w/o food or drink service. I've read another thread that said it wasn't the case and was wondering what charter service was being used. I seem to recall Omni was the one mentioned.

 

Any help would be appreciated...

We did the roundtrip Fort Lauderdale, so we did not fly to or from Manaus.

 

If you don't get an answer here, try on the live thread for the current Pacific Princess cruise.

We did the charter from Ft. Lauderdale to Manaus in March 2008. It was on Omni and there was only one class. We did have a very nice meal with free wine and a very comfortable and clean airplane.

We stayed an extra 5 days in Manus and flew Copa Air business class to Florida.It was reasonable pricewise and clean and the food was very good.It was on time also and we got Continental points also.Kathe

Thanks to all of you who responded. Omni had a really bad reputation when flying to Tahiti, that's why I asked.

 

The one service will be of concern to my 6'5" husband, but we'll tackle that when we come to it!

 

Thanks
