BTW, the 'low' priority class fare Viking books doesn't qualify for later add-on upgrades - I planned to later add my own Delta Comfort+ upgrade and Delta agent said my airfare class excluded upgrades. Air+plus res for Prem-Econ air and airline later bumped them (presumably for full-fare customers). I was unhappy to read another CC-board poster say that they had their long-advance preferred-seat V.
OF course they're probably short-staffed like many businesses AND the airlines may be imposing tighter restrictions on timing of their vendor partner contracts. Hi - I am aware of their 75-day-out restriction BUT I was hoping that if one had paid Air+ custom fee, especially if added upgrade like Prem-Econ, that they would process reservation sooner and that their 75-day policy applied to their default economy air offering.

Under normal circumstances I would have contacted Viking Air Plus to arrange our flights but reading here it seems that they are not booking anything more than 75 days out. We seek to retell the story of our beginnings.We have a Viking South East Asia cruise booked for April 2022.

However, this tale must be taken as being rather apocryphal given that it was being written to deliberately discredit the Irish and that Gerald was writing much later after the events. Gerald tells that these three brothers were granted permission to found the harbors in Ireland for the purpose of commerce, adding that this was because they were too lazy to travel in order to trade. Gerald recounts that this was also the same year in which Limerick was founded by Ivarus and Dublin by Amlavus. Traditionally it had been thought that Waterford was founded by a Viking chieftain called Sitric in 853 BC based upon the 12th-century account of Gerald of Wales. This was a longphort, a harbor and winter base, that only came to light during archaeological work undertaken in 2003 ahead of a road building project. The first being the more widely known Viking Triangle located at the center of the modern city, the second being the earlier settlement harbor of Woodstown, six kilometers (3.7 miles) away. Over the past 50 years archaeology has revealed that Viking Waterford was focused on two areas. Waterford is the oldest city in Ireland and once bore the Norse name Veorafjoror, which means “ram fjord” for this earliest settlement was a Viking one. The Irish city of Waterford lies in Co Waterford on the southeastern shore of Ireland in the province of Munster, on the river Suir at the point where it meets the Irish Sea. 1890–1900 ( Public Domain ) Viking Presence in Waterford This then leads to a period during which more permanent Viking bases were established. This phase then ends in 902 when the Ui Imar (the Viking Dynasty founded by Ivar the Boneless) is expelled from Dublin, and many of the longphorts are thought to have been destroyed by Irish kings at this time. This was followed by a phase of intensive Viking campaigning in the area dating to the 830’s when the Annals first begin to mention the presence of Viking bases known as longphorts - literally ship ports. Traditionally the early Viking activity in Ireland falls into three phases, the first being a period of lightning hit-and-run raids which took place from the 790’s until the 820’s. The first Viking raids recorded in Ireland date to 795 AD, and then they rapidly appear in the historic record.
