One Way Using EzAir?

[Mflem1278]

Can I book a one way ticket using EZAir?  My travel agent is telling me no, but I see on the website when looking at flight quotes that under "Direction" that the choices are Departure Only, Return Only and Departure and Return.   I found a return flight on Southwest airlines that I want to use, but the departure flight I am ok with using EZAir for.

 

Help please.

I often book one way EZair and use miles the other way. 

 

So the short answer is "yes" you can! 🙂

Your travel agent's information is a few years out of date. Once upon a time, you had to book both directions on EZAir and there was no way around it. If we were flying to Europe for a transatlantic, we had to use EZAir for the flight home from Florida despite the fact that the only non-stop from FLL to home was on Southwest which isn't part of EZAir.

 

However, you can now book just one way with EZAir with no problem. You also do not need to involve your travel agent in the process. Do it yourself and it becomes part of your reservation.

Yes you can. Just use that drop down for a one way.

But, if you book one way, you cannot add the return flight at a later time.  You will need to cancel your one way and start over.

I have also used EZAir for a one way several times - using EZAir to book a one way to Europe for a trans-Atlantic and booking my own domestic flight home. And as jagoffee said, you cannot make a change to any portion of your flight itinerary without rebooking the entire itinerary (at current prices and availability).

 

BTW, if you book a B2B as two separate cruises and want to book EZAir round trip, you will need to book a one way on each of the two cruises. In this case, you can change one of the flights without needing to rebook the other one.

Is it permitted to book a one way pre-departure flight well before your cruise embarkation ?

EG: Fly in about 3 weeks  early.

Yes. On the Cruise Personalizer, you select the dates for your flights. You can fly in early or fly home late if you wish.

 

I just checked one of my current cruises, and it allows me to fly in up to six weeks before the cruise or to fly home up to six weeks after the cruise ends.

Not sure about the one-way aspect, but I was amazed at the time frame that EZ Air permitted. We received a discount on EZ Air with a Crown Princess Jan. 26-Feb 5 cruise this year. We flew on Jan. 10 and returned on Feb. 17! 

 

I see NavyVeteran just beat me to that info. 🙂

Thank you both.

Very helpful to have flexibility with another flight option.

We have booked one way without problem and at a considerable savings versus one way booked at the airline site.  Sounds like you may need a new TA.

[DrivesLikeMario]

Yes!  EZ Air's one way prices are usually great!

We booked one way from Sacramento to Heathrow next October. EZ Air pricing on Virgin Atlantic was less than 10% of any other site we checked for that airline. We are booked on the exact same flight numbers that were listed on all the other sites.

I've booked one way with EZ a number of times with the price being cheaper than directly with the airline or online travel sites. Agree with Wheezedr that you may need a new TA.
