So far we have been able to fly from Tucson to a hub with SS Air. With Door to Door no Blacklane Limo to pick us up in Tucson, even though it's well within the 50 mile radius . They did give us a credit to purchase transportation.

We love the planning of our cruises together. After that, DH wants to know, where, when and how much🤑. He has been extremely pleased with SS Air. I too stay on top of the arrangements. Flight Itinerary and Airlines. If I see something I am not happy with, I look for better options. SS Air has been excellent "so far" in accommodating the better flights I have found. Again I remind you, I chose to go with a SS TA. Should our experience with SS Air on future cruises be negative, we will reassess our plans. With constant airlines and global changes, you have to hope SS knows best. If not, there are plenty of great new alternatives. But....We love our SS crew members and being spoiled by them. Elaine 😎

You can now post positive comments on "Why We Love Silversea Air". Elaine 😎

We go this October 16th Lisbon to Lisbon on the Nova I can't wait to see it.

Those comments were so well put. Do you think I can copy it to this post?

Sorry, have to leave now...Later!

I just started it. It's called "Why I Love Silversea Air" Elaine 😎

3 hours ago, boccenana said: I booked my own travel for our business for many years. It was simpler in the 70's and 80's. At this time in our lives we want to feel confident that ALL is taken care of. Our TA's these last few years were so stressed out with covid issues, that I ended up having to do most of the work myself anyway. Since dealing with my great SS agent, all has gone as smooth as can be expected. SS Air has tried to accommodate all our wishes, so far. Most definitely worth the extra money for Door to Door with flights upgraded to Business/First. Comfort and peace of mind are well worth it to us. Elaine 😎

I agree Tucson Guy. How about "Why I love Silversea Air"? I will start post if that's okay with you and Bobolz. Your Oro Valley neighbor. Elaine 😎

Our experience with SS Air has also been quite good. We would not fly any other way the craziness in travel at this time. We have been booking Door to Door so if there is are any issues we know Silversea will make things right. Unfortunately we fly out of Tucson. Lovely airport but far from a HUB. We expect a stop or two. Never had a direct flight anywhere in years. Maybe some day. We feel in good hands with SS Air and a great SS agent. I absolutely agree with you. I would post on a new thread for sure. Elaine😎

Would love to do crossings but DH not a fan.😌 You are a font of info on everything SS. Thank you for that. Elaine 😎

That's what I thought. First short leg Tucson to San Francisco put us in Economy. No biggie but still disappointed. Reading all the " rules", SS can basically do anything they want. We have had our flights for many months. I don't want to be a pain in the A..about a short flight. So far all the others are fine.

Lois, are you on the Oct 16th 2023 Lisbon to Lisbon on the Nova?

But....even with paying for upgrade, they only guarantee that upgrade for long international flights.

Our super SS agent got them to me months ago. I will always book through him now. Whenever I have a question, he gets an answer for me. BUT....you have to ask the questions.

Did you book through Silversea TA?

Thanks again, I will call TAP, we booked Door to Door upgraded to Business with Silverair.

Has anyone ever called TAP Portugal? Any luck with them?

😇Lucky!

Having same experience with TAP Portugal Airlines. Cannot pickseats even with confirmation number.

Thanks Randy. That makes sense.

We booked the Nova 14 months ago. Lisbon to Lisbon this October 16th. It's a long wait but I am sure it will be well worth it. I can't wait to see actual photos of the interiors. Do you think they will have all new menus or the same as the other SS ships we have been on? Elaine 😎

We have had a great experience with Silversea Air. Gave us our preferred flight over the one they gave us originally. Our TA is fantastic, no problem with communications between him and SSAir.

We are interested in the Cigar lounge too. What information were you given. The illustration looked really nice.
