using royal caribbean for air flights

[jillmom2]

If you book airline flight through Royal Caribbean, can you fly in a day early or is it always same day as the cruise. Can you request it or is it not available at all as an option. Usually always book my own flights but rates are so high I thought I would compare with royal Caribbean rates. When I book we always fly in a day or two early.

If you use Choice Air, you can choose to fly in several days before the cruise and fly out several days after the cruise.

Yes you can fly in early. We just did it before our Alaska cruise a couple months ago

Very easy to do. I haven't used Choice Air in years, but always found it preferable to book my own air.

Its basically the same as booking your own flights when you want on the same day,a day before or multiple days before. Domestic flights really have no savings you pay a fee which gives you some protection. The best deals are one way internationals.

Booking thru Royal, Is that considered third party?

Do you get credit for FF program or upgrades?

It depends on the type of tickets that Royal buys from the airlines. We've gotten FF miles the 3 times we've used Royal for air, but it's not guaranteed.

Check the prices for booking yourself....since you're arriving a day early, timing won't be as big of a deal. Usually, you can get cheaper, more direct flights, with the seats you want, if you book yourself.
