when to book flight seats ??

[sammydo]

sorry, this has probably been asked before, but when does booking flight seats become available.....i know its roughly 12 weeks before departure,

but will i be notifyed at all, or is it just a case of checking my cruise personaliser daily. Thanks for any answers.

I'm on A124 departing on the 28th October and I had an e-mail from P & O exactly 12 weeks (to the day) saying that the seat choice was available.

[sammydo]

thankyou,....did you book direct with P&O ? as we have booked with one of their recommended cruise agents.....not sure if this would make any difference .

[Catherine Janaway]

We booked through Thomas Cook so it seems as long as P & O have your e-mail address they contact you directly about the flights.

[sammydo]

ok thankyou,...not sure that P&O do have my email address, but i will give agent a call and check if they can pass it on to them, or if i need to do it.

 

thanks again x

If you go onto the P & O web site you will see 'cruise personaliser in the top right.

 

If you have your booking reference number you can access your cruise details and put in your e-mail address.

you can also fill in all your details that P&O need, before you sail,such as pasport details, insurance details and contact number(s), on your "Cruise Personaliser". You will also find flight details and excursion for your cruise there.

I can only speak for my experience flying back from Barbados (on transatlantic cruise) we are paying £12.50 per person to slect the seat.

yes, i think we will have to pay £25 each for booking our seat (return)

 

 

 

..........and thankyou all for your replies, i have now sucessfully submitted my email address and most of our details required.

Just out of interest, when the "Seat Booker" is activated on the P&O personaliser does it show the lay-out of the plane or does it just give a list of seat numbers available?

I saw a lay out of the plane which helped me decide which to choose.

 

Some seats are shaded and for some reason you can't book them.

The pre-booking of seats facility opens exactly 12 weeks before your cruise departure. I booked our seats at 3 mins past midnight - I had looked at 5mins to midnight and the facility wasn't there but 8 mins later there it was! Yes you do have to pay £12.50 per seat (£25 return) and you will be shown the layout of the plane. Some seats will have been blocked out to take account of some passengers not having computer access.
