Start your trip right!

For most of us the only part of a cruise vacation that isn't enjoyable is the flight to our destination. This is an even greater issue for European or Asia cruises. The long lines at check in, at security, and then a wait at the airport. You then get on your plane only to be squished into an ever shrinking seat. So what can you do? Here our our tips to flying to your cruise.

1. Consider booking in business class. The airlines offer us non-published discounted fares as long as your travel plans are firm. You might be able to fly to Europe for much less than you thought on a lay-flat bed. Plus you get an expedited check-in, fast access to customs, airport lounge access and faster luggage delivery.
