cmbath Posted September 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2017 What are the different choices of extra fees for Viking Air? I only want to talk to the air department to pick the best flight. they just charged me $150 and I thought it was $50.

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted September 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm sure someone with more personal knowledge of Viking Air will elaborate, but as I understand it there are two separate fees ($50 and $100). One is the custom fee, to get to choose the exact flights you want [on the same day that Viking normally does it]. The other is the deviation fee, to travel on a different day or to a different airport. Since you are flying in a day early, you would have to pay both fees. I also wouldn't expect airport transfers, as Viking has no reason to be at the airport the day you arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted September 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Just one additional thing to note- The $50 fee (which I assume is the Viking Air Plus) should be waived by Viking when booking your fourth water cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmbath Posted September 24, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted September 24, 2017 That's what I thought, but they insisted I had to pay it all. I only wanted the $50 choice. As far as the freebie, they stopped that at least a year ago. That's what they told me before my last cruise. I guess I'll be calling them again.

Viking is charging $100 for flying in a day early (or to a different airport), and $50 for choosing your flights instead of letting Viking choose.

MikeyB Posted September 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2017 CM- It's who you speak to and what you know before you speak to them. I was initially charged the $50 custom fee. I protested. I said your literature doesn't say that I'm not entitled to it. That went nowhere. I politely hung up and contacted someone in management. The fee was eventually removed. I like Viking but they are the most frustrating people to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
