racj846 Posted June 23, 2018 #26 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Assuming you have a flexible fare, Princess will pay the airline 45 days prior to sail date, although other posts have indicated it is sometimes a few days later. Regardless, with the flexible fare you can make changes for whatever reason up to the 45 day mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land lover Posted June 23, 2018 #27 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I just wanted to include my endorsement of EZ Air... doing the Golden Princess transpacific in Sep/Oct and just booked my return flight from Sydney to LAX... nonstop on Delta for only 463pp! :D At THAT price... I don't care when they ticket me! ;) Perfect time to book, the fares for these non-stop flights just dropped a hundred....but I am assuming u have been watching.

suzyed Posted June 23, 2018 #28 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Just a word of warning! If you book with EZAir, you should regularly check your flights. 125 days out and my friend went to check her flights and found that they had been cancelled!!!! :eek: She was flying from San Diego > Atlanta > Barcelona and home from Ft. Lauderdale! Over an hour and 1/2 on the phone with Princess and they got her flights back with an earlier departure from SD, but never told her why they were cancelled!!

Just want to be sure I understand you correctly. The flights were no longer available through Adair of the airlines cancelled them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzyed Posted June 23, 2018 #30 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Just want to be sure I understand you correctly. The flights were no longer available through Adair of the airlines cancelled them? NO! The flight was still available from Atlanta to Barcelona (We are on that flight still). Not sure if after cancelling the first segment there were no longer seats or it was just cancelled altogether? So they were given an earlier flight from San Diego to ATL and put back on the flight to Barcelona. There was no reason given for the cancellation. Worst yet is that they were not notifies of this! My friend just happened to check on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diane.in.ny Posted June 24, 2018 #35 Share Posted June 24, 2018 When you say keep checking, do you mean EZ AIR or the airline site? The airline site. Actually, our flights are no longer available on the EZ Air site for the day of disembarkation as they don't meet the cruise line guidelines. They did when I first booked them. Then Delta changed the departure time and it didn't meet the guidelines. I had to call Princess because we had a fantastic fare (RT east coast to SYD, premium economy, $1,600) and if I had to rebook for that day, on another airline, the new fare would be double! My husband and I agreed that if we could keep our fare, we were willing to spend another night in SYD. (Fare at that time for the next day was $2,700!) Princess made the switch, honoring our original booked fare. Worth it to spend another night in SYD compared to spending an add'l $3,200 on air.

AF-1 Posted June 24, 2018 #36 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Yes please check the airline website for any changes. You may get a change which does not allow significant time to make a connection; and the airlines will not notify you of flight changes. I check every few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted June 26, 2018 #40 Share Posted June 26, 2018 What is the guideline you are referring to? I assume it is how soon after docking passengers can select a flight. For example, it might say 5 hours after arrival. So if the ship arrived at 7 AM, no flight before noon could be booked on EZAir. The pesonalizer will tell you what the guideline is for your disembarkation port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deliver42 Posted June 27, 2018 #42 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I just booked our round trip flights on EZ Ai for next May R/T from Orlando to Seattle.

Set a flight watch alert in K*y*k.com for your flight days. Then you'll get an alert if the price changes. If it drops, head back to EZAir.
