What happended to Choice Air

[tyler6597]

I'm curious about the choice air website. RCCL and Celebrity have new airline, transfers and pre and post hotel websites and the on site Azamara choice air website has been off line for over 2 months. Is Azamara changing their flight, transfer and pre and post hotel website or is their website that screwed up. Maybe someone can enlighten me and whoever else is wondering about this.

The other day I was on the Azamara site, checking out prices for a cruise that I have already booked. As I puttered around, I think I had made my cabin selection and near the end of the process, then some air fares appeared. Up popped 3 departure cities and air fares but there was a box you could put in your departure city and it would give you a sample fare and transfer options.

I booked through Choice Air for my Nov 21 cruise on Journey so, if it is a change it's a very recent one!

The website is down, but you can call them to make reservations

I was going to reply with the same thing. The OP was asking about the website, which is still out of commission, but Choice Air itself is still available by phone.

I believe maybe the air program name has been changed to Flight Finder

From what I can see, this is only available to TAs.

Choice Air=Flights By Celebrity=Flight Finder=Royal Air

Still RCG's air program.

choiceair seems to be back and working. Only Azamara shows for a cruiseline.

I, too, can find no link to ChoiceAir.

 

The only access I can see is with the posted phone number.

I was able to do a browsing for a flight here-

I hope it will work for other people

Ahhhh. So simple and yet so brilliant.

 

Thanks so much for that suggestion as I was just in the process of researching possible flights.

Thank you for the information. We are on the Lisbon to Rio in the fall and I am starting on the air for it.

We found Choice Air had higher prices than online ticketing services.  We used "T-locity " and from Hartford to Venice in June they were $300 less per person.  Plus the $$ you see would change when we actually went to book, as in "The fare you selected is no longer availabale."  Happened for several days in a row, so they were not updating the website as air prices changed.  Be sure to check out all your options before you book.

I got burned by not booking with ChoiceAir and then had a cruise canceled. I got airline credit, but not a refund. Because of all the uncertainty, I probably won’t use the credit on another cruise flight.

For anyone researching air routings and pricing, I highly recommend ITA Matrix.  It is purely a research tool - you cannot purchase tickets there, but it is probably the most powerful and comprehensive air search tool out there.

I found out that choice air within the Azamara website doesn't work but under the Celebrity website the azamara choice air works fine. So use the celebrity choice air and it will tell you that it's for azamara. problem solved.

There are times when even the Google tool does not give the full picture. We need to fly to LIS and then do a return from Rio de Janeiro in the fall. What even Google did not show was the set of Delta flights that are available with Delta Comfort+ seating. All of the others kept showing some mix of AA with a bit economy seating thrown in even when set on Business class seating. With a husband with a right knee that does not bend the economy seating, even bulkhead doesn't work. It has been some interesting digging. I will probably book with Delta direct. Always check all the possibilites.  BTW, the Delta came out less than the AA prem econ.

Looking forward to the fall cruise. Alice
