I have done many ocean cruises, but am very new to river cruising. Almost always book my own air because I'm one of those who likes to have control. I feel I understand Viking's included/free air process, however I have one question I don't see addressed here.
My husband and I have Gold status with United and usually have to work hard (haha...travel more!) to keep that status which is based on a specific points and flights system. Does anyone know if there is any possibility that our Viking flights will accrue United's "points" and "flights" or do we give that up as the cost of "free" air. My gut tells me that the fare class booked by Viking will preclude the flights from counting toward our status.
Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can share and yes, I know this is a first world problem 🙂
