Review summary

Sailing out of Southampton in October to the Caribbean, flying home from Barbados and P&O want to charge £50 each to book a seat on the flight home. I think this is outrageous Shame on you P&O daylight robbery.

That would be a good idea, maybe the kids could be looked after by someone else for flight 😀

Just don’t pay it! We aren’t! It is a rip off and who cares if u sit a couple of seats away its only a few hours, just shove some earphones In and watch a movie!

The flight is included in the cruise price so no option to book separately

You are correct in what you say. Carnival is profiteering from its UK (P&O) client base. Dollar for dollar, UK prices are significantly higher than comparable ex-US cruises...nothing to do with exchange rates. Asking for an additional £50 x seat whilst not unique in the industry, is none the less, extremely unpalatable. Well said!

No oldbob I clearly didn't that is why I'm furious £50 each person is robbery. I was told by bolsover cruise club it was charged by P&O not the airline. Like I say daylight robbery

when you book a fly cruise with p n o the flight is included in the flight so you can not book your separately. pno charter the flight from Thomas. booking seat is an option but you take a chance you.may not be sat with the people you are with. We've booked ours each was £25 each way. it is a swiz but people pay it so airlines charge it..

we paid £25 each for the Thomas Cook flight on Saturday are you flying Thomson on Friday that may be the reason

So don't book the flights through P&O; book directly through the airlines.

It's not P&O it's the airline, this is always the case if you want to sit with whoever you're travelling with, with every airline
