When I went from Denver to SD to catch the Voyager they had me first class from DEN to LAX and then a 3 hour layover to catch the puddle jumper to San Diego. No Way! There are tons of direct flights between the two. I just took a direct flight and ate the other one. But I was on the WC and I don't know whether to blame my TA for that or Regent.

I think that for those that do the WC or other long cruises just want to get there and get on the boat without the musical chairs air routes. Air Travel these days is hard enough. Regent needs to look at their cost cutting vs customer satisfaction issue. Will the ends justify the means if Regent Loyals switch cruise lines? The way you make money is not only fill the ships to capacity but make sure they are full 3 years down the road. I don't think the new owners have learned this lesson yet.
