eieiaye Posted September 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2021 We just booked, at the spur of the moment Burgundy-Provence on Uniworld the end of October. Uniworld's guidance is to arrive by 3:30. Most flights coming from US arrive at 3:40. We could have a very convenient flight from our home town. If this means getting our own taxi to the port not a big deal. Thanks for advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gourmet Gal Posted September 11, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Shouldn’t matter. If transfers are included let them know your arrival time and they will probably wait for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted September 11, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 11, 2021 With all the changes going on - I would probably see if pricing with Uniworld is around the same price. If it is, I would book through them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted September 11, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 11, 2021 If there was ever a time to book flights thru the cruise lines, this is it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljandgb Posted September 11, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Agree with booking thru the cruise line. We travelled to Morocco in March and are on a Danube cruise now. Every leg of every flight for these trips were canceled/changed, sometimes only days prior, sometimes without notice. Air reservation instability is one of the biggest headaches for international travel right now. What looks like a great flight now may not exist later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisi Posted September 11, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Will Uniworld allow you to chose your airline? I know with Avalon, we book through them, and they allow us to chose which airline we want. It wouldn't hurt to check, especially since it's a flight from your home town.

eieiaye Posted September 14, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted September 14, 2021 We ended up going with the not so convenient departure with Uniworld, but the price came down a bit. I thought the ease of using Uniworld during this time outweighs the convenience. Thanks for the input! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hearing of several Amawaterways cruises cancelled at the last minute - I would hate to have you have plane tickets and no cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
