Colgal Posted February 21, 2019 Author #26 Share Posted February 21, 2019 We finally resolved the air issue by paying for one ticket and using AMEX points for the other. It’s been quite an ordeal because of the limited available seats at a certain price or point value and some snafus with the airline that were finally resolved after a great deal of effort on our part. Living in Arizona and trying to go abroad without a stop on the east coast became a challenge as non-domestic carriers do not cooperate as willingly with our preferred domestic airlines and the ticket prices and availability reflected that situation. The multi-city itinerary also complicated the pricing structure but spending quite a few hours on the phone finally resulted in an acceptable outbound route through SLC with a return through LAX which avoided a long transcontinental flight. If we had been able to receive a competitive quote theough Silversea we would have taken it but it was always a moving target by the time they contacted our agent and then the overcharges escalated. We are very relieved that our booking is finally completed and looking forward to our cruise-it’s been 10 years since Silverseas as we have been sailing on Seabourn and we are excited to be going aboard!

I want to thank you so much Lois. I contacted Lisa and have booked our cruise for September 2020. She was a great help. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
