NCL Air - Chicago to Cape Town - Flight When Exactly?

[KingMarcus]

I've used NCL Air for international cruises to Barcelona and Singapore.  What will happen going to South Africa?

I can tell you my mother and I have received our flight details from Chicago to South Africa on the January 14 cruise on the Jade already for what it is worth.  Chicago-Newark NJ-Captown

My thought is that there is a premium for my flight because it is over NYE/NYD.  Did you pay to come in early?  If not, how soon do you get into the Cape Town?

If you asked for a 1-day deviation you will arrive the day before.  If you didn't, you will arrive the day you embark.

Flying to CT in December, from Oregon.  Oregon to SFO to Zurich to CT.  Arriving 8:20am, day of departure, no deviation requested. Total flight time about 24 hrs.

Home is CT to Newark to LAX to Oregon. Flight to EWR is just under 16 hours, another 8+ hours to get home. January 2 so some holiday conflict.

We did request to get in early - we wanted to leave sometime on January 11 and arrive sometime on January 12 to give us a little time in Capetown before we get onboard on January 14 and of course give us some wiggle room if flights did not go off as planned/delays etc.  We were pretty nervous about what flights we would get so we are pretty pleased with what we got, I know the seats that we received were not great so we paid a little to move up a few rows, may have done that directly with United.

I received my flights and our flights arrive in Cape Town at 9pm on embarkation day..I have a request in to change it with NCL, as it is outside of the flight parameters on the contract. We will see what their take is...

Imagine the most inconvenient time with the greatest fear of missing embarkation.  That's your flight.

From the States to South Africa.   The best you can hope for is via Anchorage; Seoul, Dubai and Johannesburg!!
