Fly2Fun Error Unable to book flight for your cruise.

[ashkir]

Has anyone used Fly2Fun? It gives me an error when I attempt to use it "Unable to book flight for your cruise. Please call 1-800-764-7419 for assistance." I'll probably call next week. My next cruise, a 25 day cruise, is 300 days away now.

It is likely that airfares are not yet published for your dates.  I would wait at least another month and try again.

I've gotten the same error message for our Northern European next August.  Still a bit early I'll assume.  Flight are available directly but are likely not yet packaged up.

My PVP heard back. Apparently Carnival isn't supporting LAX any longer. I was told I'll need to go to Las Vegas airport. 

 

She said she thinks its dumb but reached out for someone to fix it.

 They tell her if Carnival supporting any other airport in Southern CA?  
 

San Diego has been surprisingly much cheaper at times than LAX, and I love the efficiency of Ontario.

I didn't even think to ask.

 

She managed to get 2 of 6 of us a $320 flight to Rome from LAX, but she said her system errored out after 2.

Thats not true.  I just booked a flight to LAX for my cruise.

LAX is a major socal airport. It'd make no sense for NCL not to support flights there.

If one of the passenger's is listed as TBA, it won't allow you to look up flights. Also can't use it for TBA room assignments. What your PVP said about not supporting LAX is not true. Nor does it matter that you're 300 days out. Also - depending on where you live, the system may not be able to pick up a home airport.

CCL. And you're right.

Booked flights for our October cruise more than a month ago, so that's 10 months out.

 

Not sure I would use Fly2Fun again in the future. It has some benefits, but you can neither see your flights nor access Fly2Fun again once you've booked. Not to mention that they only support regular economy. If you think prices have dropped, or want to make other changes, you have to call. And if you booked with a travel agent, you have to them instead of a cruise rep. It's like a crippled version of the same booking engine that Princess uses.

Fly2Fun MAY NOT book flights until late because they use consolidators and don't take the best (most expense options). People can book their own flights when they choose.

Try using a different browser. I used to get that error message when using Safari but it worked when I used Chrome.

I guess i was not clear. I already used Fly2Fun to book my flights 10 months before the cruise. This was done last month, December 2022 for an October 2023 sailing.

They're still having issues with LAX 😞. They got 2 of us flights, out of 6. Then their LAX bookings went down again and they canceled the 2.
