Experience flying back home/LESSONS LEARNED

We usually do book on our own, but they advertised, book now, pay later when you make final payment for cruise, there was a 20 % discount 

And one of our travel mates had heart surgery, so we didn’t want to pay for tickets months before we had to pay for the cruise. We wanted to see how he recovered.

This is the last flight to Paris that day, but I have researched and there are 2 later flights to London, which would not be the best choice , but would get us to Europe that day, 

..we have a week before the cruise so that’s not an issue..we would miss a day in Paris

...fingers crossed ..

You get what you pay for.  And was that a discount from what you would get with a ticket direct from United?  Or a discount from some cruiseline-provided number?  And you notice that you have severely restricted fare rules with cruiseline air.

 

Caveat Emptor.

We took a river cruise and they booked our flights with no problems...

land last year we booked on our own and our flight was cancelled, 😥

I guess it’s just the cost of flying these days...

hopefully we will be laughing about this in Paris a week from now 😀
