jtslattery Posted July 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted July 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited July 12, 2023 by 6rugrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r&rd Posted July 12, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2023 You don’t always get the most convenient flights and you very seldom save money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolbluegreenseas Posted July 12, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 12, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare texasstar Posted July 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
