Choice air from u.k?

[colmat]

Hi looking at a far east cruise next year & can get the flights a lot cheaper than R.C.I how does choice air work & can we even use it in the U.K ? Thanks in advance.

There is a UK version of Choice Air just phone RCI and they will be able to help you. If you can find flights cheaper just book your own flights and then pay the cruise only price.

Thanks for that, what is the advantage of booking through them rather than just booking the flights myself?

I would not recommend booking with RCI. You can no choice on what they book. Last time we did it to the US they took us via Chicago.

Try skyscanner.net or kayak.co.uk.

Make sure you know how far the airport is from the airport though !!

There are advantages to book through RCCL; you will hear tales of flight delays / breakdowns / weather related and so on. If they are responsible for the whole of your booking they will be responsible for getting you on board. If they fly you in the day before the price will include transfers and pre cruise hotel if applicable and a day room post cruise if your flight is very late on the same day.

I book my own flights to have control; I arrange flights with minimum 1 day pre cruise preferably 2 if the flight is Long Distance to cover exigencies. I choose my own route. Use Air Miles. I can deal with airline direct.

I disagree with the above post in that you can tell them what flight and airline you prefer. I did this for our transatlantic in August. They have always been quite flexible.

You are thinking of the old traditional cruise air. Choice Air has replaced traditional cruise air and you can choose your exact flights now.
