I authorized them, listed them, and found out it's about $185 person. $370 vs the $240 the fare calculator quoted. I've used the fare calculator in the past and found it to be about right on. Anyway, they are now back to driving again as it's cheaper, and they don't like the idea of standby. I am out 2 buddy passes as I already authorized them. I have used 0 this year so I don't care, but it's not right. You should be able to get an accurate assessment of the price before committing. Rant over.
Right now buddy pass not worth it. Just priced two tickets one way from PDX to MCO. Over $175 as buddy pass, $105 on spirit for a real ticket, $170 on United. Just the way it is.....
