Booking O air

Recommended Posts

How many days before your cruise can you book O air? Without deviations. Do they ever run out of seats?

 

You may book Oceania air at any time after you have reserved your cruise, but without a deviation you probably won't be notified of your flight assignment until ninty days to a month before sailing.

 

They never "run out of seats", as you put it, but the more convenient flight-times and better seats do fill up first.

What is air deviation? (sorry I'm a newbie to Oceania :D)

Basically if you want to take the included air from Oceania but want to fly in or out on different days than the cruise dates or on a specific airline

You will pay a fee to deviate from embarkation/debarkation days

However, many times it is cheaper for you to spend less than the deviation charge to fly to the nearest "gateway" city, than thy charge for the deviation.

The biggest advantage, of taking Oceania air is that they guarantee they will get you to the ship, or home much like taking a ships tour unlike doing it on your own.

 

In some cases taking a one way air with no deviation is far cheaper than one could buy even with the use of frequent flyer miles ! However, the return may not be as good a deal inversely.

 

You must do your homework to determine all the options you have. There is not a pat answer for every case
