Are there any advantages to using air booked through Windstar

[jtslattery]

Looking at booking a cruise 6 weeks out. Any advantages to booking air through Windstar? Thinking it is possible flights might be less expensive of have a baggage allowance. TIA

Any flights booked would follow the baggage policies of the airline, and I don't know of any airline they would use that wouldn't give you one free 50 lb checked bag, though of course, I can't say for sure.  I see no advantage and many disadvantages.  Check the price and be aware of what you are purchasing.

You don’t always get the most convenient flights and you very seldom save money.

Thank both of you for your advice - just the input I wanted

Considering the nonsense going on with Air Tahiti Nui, booking the airfare separately makes canceling the flights easier. Right now, I am on TN flights and if I’d booked separately, I’d probably cancel the flights and rebook on AF. Hopefully, the strike is resolved in the next 2 days or so. If not, I am calling Windstar to find out my options.

 

From now on, I book all air separately.

You are also in control of your destiny.  You can choose your flights, choose your seats, and only have one person to deal with if a problem comes up.
