Same. Flight Ease business out of Lisbon to PHL was far less expensive than direct booking. I did find a great deal on business to Rome out of JFK, panicked and took it before I could book with Flight Ease. Had I waited, I would have paid slightly more out of PHL, but far less than booking direct PHL - FCO. Kind of a bummer as the drive to JFK will be annoying, but I had no idea Flight Ease deals would be so great for my routes.

Thank you! We feel better knowing this!

Thank you for the reassurance!

Following up on this thread. Now that our flight has been ticketed, I was able to correct the Known Traveler Number through my AA account. Our names are still weird (first and middle smashed together - firstnamemiddlename Ms). I was able to add middle names in a the middle name box on the tickets. Reached out to AA customer service about the first name smash up and they told me it was fine because they see our middle names on the reservation. Really weird to me, but we have no choice other than to trust AA customer service.

Just following up if anyone is interested. Called Seabourn. All is well, the name thing is normal. They will officially ticket the trip 45 days out. They apologized on the Trusted Traveler number, but they couldn't change it. Some system thing. It’s not a big deal, I can handle that at the airport.

That's strange. I've never seen it presented this way. Just discovered that they also got my Trusted Traveler number wrong. AA is saying they haven't purchased the ticket yet. I'll probably try to call them today to better understand what is happening.

We reserved our flights with FlightEase for our upcoming Mediterranean cruise. The cost savings for business class were huge compared to booking directly with AA. We reserved in July, just paid the final payment. No change in price. I have (what I hope) is a minor issue in the way they presented our names to the airline. In my AA app it appears as: Firstnamemiddlename Last Name Ms and Firstnamemiddlename Last Name Mr. The names are correct, but I don’t know why they jumbled them together this way and I hope it doesn’t cause an issue for us. Everything appeared correct on the FlightEase site….

I was hoping this would be the case. Thank you!

Happy New Year! Has anyone experienced the Serene Suite on the Quest? From the description, it sounds like there are Thermal Suites (Sauna?) and a thermal pool. Is the day pass worth it? Also, does anyone know what machines they have in the gym? Is there a rower? TIA!

That is great to know!

American here. I love Indian food - the spicier the better - and will pretty much do anything for a great batch of naan. I will literally eat my weight in naan and then roll myself back to the cabin for the food coma. LOL. We are traveling with family that doesn’t like Indian, but I’m hopeful that maybe there’s a lunch or dinner special dish I can try…

Thanks everyone!

Thank you!

I've heard that there is trivia onboard! We love trivia. I imagine this is a sea day activity. Does anyone know the timing for trivia, generally? I realize this is a very specific question, but a lady needs to plan her spa treatments. #seabournproblems 😆

Thank you. I don't think my CC helps here, but the next step is travel insurance. The cruise itself was a gift - but I'm considering disruption insurance for airfare. Departure flights are booked directly with AA.

Thank you. Last question (I promise!). About how far in advance did you officially get ticketed? Really appreciate you joining the conversation.

Thank you for your feedback! When you booked with Flight Ease, did you book the Flex Air? If so, when did you pay and get officially ticketed?

Thank you. You understand my struggle! I know people here have their preferences, but this is a legitimate question about a service Seabourn provides. It appears to be working well for some people. Using Flight Ease gets us a business class ticket on a nonstop flight to our home airport. The price is less than half what I would pay AA direct. I understand it might be a risk and the tickets may not be the same as if I booked direct with the airline, but it is still a Seabourn service (not a scam), so I'm inclined to believe that it's worth it. Like you, I would just like to hear other people's experiences with Flight Ease Flex and early ticketing. I've been having more luck in the FB groups.

It is early June. The tickets were “bookable” with great prices on flex. I grabbed them and they are now even showing in my AA account, with seat assignments. I have not yet paid and can apparently change anytime. But, prices can also go up anytime. I can request to be ticketed, but I haven’t clicked that link yet because I’m not sure how it all works and I don’t want to make a mistake. I just want to lock in the great rate and will pay earlier - today even - to do so. Have you worked through this before? Any advice? Thanks 😊

I have the same question. I’ve “booked” flex air at a great rate for a cruise in June. Should I ask to be ticketed now? Does anyone have experience with this?
