But yeah, a lot of places, it's not worth the effort. And maybe that nearly 2 to 3 benjamins isn't enough for you to jumpseat on another airline but for some it will be. Just know you have options.
Is there a difference in taxes/fees D1 vs D2?
On United if you drop the vacation pass on international travel first class is $30-40 vs few benjamins on regular non-rev. But then domestically it's around $40 to list in business (refunded if you get main).
