Bobblehat71 Posted August 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hi , Just booked a trip on Oasis with flights with Virgin Holidays for October. They couldnt give me any details of the flights and just confirmed that RCL would ensure we got to the ship on time. Is this normal? Havent had confirmation from RCL yet so have no way of checking. Virgin website only confirms the cruise details not flights. Cheers Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd ask them when you can expect to receive the airline record locator so you have the ability to see your flights and possibly select seats.

Thanks , A little concerned as there isnt a flight that can get us there on time on the day of departure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoopy2110 Posted August 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 23, 2017 You should be taking this up with Virgin ? It's not RCI who'll be booking the flights if you booked through Virgin Holidays. Virgin have their own airline so I presume it'll be flights with them. It'll show in time, don't worry =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uksimonusa Posted August 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Flying from the UK to Orlando, if that's where you are cruising from,you need to fly in the day before or you will miss the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggertastic Posted August 24, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Check the day before, virgin will fly you the night before and put you in a hotel. Be prepared to have that day booked off work too. They gave direct flights to Orlando and Miami. If it's Fort Lauderdale they route through either Atlanta or JFK and code share delta so if they route your 2nd leg will be delta. Edit - forgot to say that yes it's normal not to know flights immediately Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobblehat71 Posted August 24, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Thanks for all the replies. I'll chase up Virgin for more info. Not bothered about knowing the exact flight details but would like to know what day I am flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearwood Posted August 24, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 24, 2017 it will def be the day before or you wont get there in time, do a dummy booking on rci web site for your cruise and include flights and hotel and see what comes up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
