Use Princess Air or try on own?

[Cruisedreamer1]

We are about to book a princess cruise for June 3rd and have a quote for $569.28 from Princess for LAX to Fairbanks and outbound from Vancouver,BC. We, of course, like the Princess guarantee to stand behind us in case of any difficulties. Princess is including the transfers as well.

Could we book this for less? Thanks.

This actually depends on many factors.

In my case last year, I used Princess Air, and that is because I also bought Travel Insurance from Princess, so in order for my flight to be covered by the insurance, I will have to buy Princess Air as well. From what I saw last year, Princess Air are maybe $10 - $20 more expensive in general vs. Orbitz or other websites. Many-times I found the prices to be almost exact. Remember, you will be traveling in peak vacation season, so there's not much wiggle room for flight prices to fluctuate between different vendors and airlines.
