Rare PhillyTravelBug Posted December 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I noticed the sale on airfare through Celebrity is ending soon. My only question is, is this a frequent sale they run? I just booked my first Celebrity cruise and need to do a multi-city booking and figured it may just be best to do it through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmwoodPark Posted December 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2019 i purchased airfare using the Celebrity Choice Air 20% sale about one month ago. I don't know if this means it is a regular occurrence, but they have had it recently. It is a good deal as it was the same airfare I was just about to purchase on the American Airlines site but I saved some money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prost Seattle Posted December 16, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2019 So I booked airfare using Celebrity during the weekend. After booking two tickets, the price jumped $300 for the third. The airlines only had two seats at the lower rate, they were FC seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdpa Posted December 16, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 16, 2019 It seemed like a sale every few months over the last year but there is no advantage in waiting if you are booking a refundable flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted December 17, 2019 #5 Share Posted December 17, 2019 What indicated the "sale" price. I've priced some air via the web and didn't see it reflect any discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted December 17, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 17, 2019 They advertise this often. But my fare usually is higher during these specials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserMickey Posted December 17, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have booked airfares on a 20% off sale. The prices for my flights were 20% less than booking directly through the airlines. I have checked back since then when the sale is advertised, but I have not seen another example of the price actually being lower. I guess it just pays to check both Flights by Celebrity and the airline you want to fly with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastdance Posted December 17, 2019 #9 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) The 20% sale price is always way more than what I paid. Yep, the "sale" price was $800 more for biz class - west coast to Rome/RT, and for almost the same flights, but the ones I got were actually a little better. It has been like this since Celebrity started their 20% sales...so sad! I check prices several times a week, and keep a spreadsheet! Cheaper than the airline by a lot of $$$, but you have to be careful. I was able to get RT coach tickets was SF to Rome/RT for $535. this was the the first several weeks the flights were open using Choice Air! United for me & BA/AA for my friends!

Do you check prices on-line or do you repeatedly call CA to track prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it seems like I am always checking prices. I also call periodically, usually on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I usually book the first few weeks the flights are available. I also call during this period quite a few times. If/when I find a better price, I call immediately. I have found my best prices on Tuesday through Thursday. Sometimes I ask for the lowest price on a leg of my flights. For example, traveling from Reno to SF, this leg became cheaper without biz/first class. My overall fare went down. In Europe, biz class is just like coach with the difference being an open seat in the middle. However, depending on luggage weight, I usually stay at biz. Everything depends on the number of legs to your destination. I travel to Europe once a year. Nothing is ever easy, so giving flights a lot of attention allows me to feel good about prices.
