And you then spend your time listing non rev in retirement, checking flight loads, wondering if cookies will maybe get you a better seat, wondering if the earlier flight will be delayed and revenue pax rolled into your flight, worried will there be 2 seats for you and your wife....

IF there was ever a time to buy your tickets, even first class, and for once literally and figuratively "sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight," it better darn well be in retirement. What the heck are we all working and grinding for if we want to non rev to be our method of travel in retirement?!

Pilots are cheap....

But yes, just buy the tickets and enjoy it. Might even get bumped and a voucher.
