But I also use work itself to travel. We get downtown hotels at my regional so I take advantage of that. I've especially had fun in Canada and Mexico.
I don't know what the new Spirit PBS will allow, but at my regional I can use swapping to get 5 or more days off in a row pretty easily. I'm finishing a block of 10 days off right now, no vacation used.
Big question, can the buddy passes be used toward ZED fares or similar not-operated-by-Spirit travel?
If your picking your career airline off of who has the best travel benefits, your doing it wrong. Once you upgrade here or anywhere you’ll probably just buy your tickets anywhere you want to go.
