Also scheduled for July.  Appreciate any and all information.  Keep us posted, please.  

Booked economy class air with Uniworld for Gems of Northern Italy last week.

The procedure is a bit complicated but resulted in choice of flights, with some limitations, as Uniworld only has contracts for certain flights.  Even with the addition of their $95pp fee, pricing was much better than I could find on my own.

After reserving the trip through a travel agent I filled out the Custom Air Service Request form in the “Already Booked” area of Uniworld’s website.

The next day I had an email with a suggested itinerary.  Through back and forth emails I had Uniworld check several other itineraries.  The problem with this system is that the availability and pricing is fleeting.  By the time I decided on an itinerary it was higher in price.  So be sure you are available to email back when you are offered an agreeable itinerary.

Uniworld reserved the flights and I had to contact my travel agent for payment.

BTW I was told by the travel agent if I’d chosen the Free Air or Business Air special I would have had to pay the $95pp to assure all of my family was on the same flights.  Also, Uniworld can book those flights without your input if you don’t immediately start a custom air service request.

Thank you, flyboy88, for alerting me to this issue.

I checked the flight details for my upcoming cruise. There were several differences between the flights in the Princess cruise personalizer and the flights on the Delta website.

Most worrisome, Delta did not show the first leg of our return flight.

It took numerous phone calls over 4 days to get all parties in agreement. Better to spend the hours getting it straightened out now than find myself in a situation like your parents experienced.
