Like I said, it’s all new to me so it’s one of those situations where I don’t know what I don’t know. Looking forward to it though. (except for paying for it all!) Really appreciate all the advice on this thread. I know it’s not Southwest specific, but since I’ve heard we can’t get ID90s on business class because SWA 🙄 I figured who better to ask? After reading here though I think we’ll just save some of the (hopefully) retro check and buy the tickets rather than try to nonrev.
I’ve heard good things about La Compagnie (Sp?). Basically a 757 with like 70 seats in it so it’s all business class and we can non-rev on them. Think they fly out of EWR. If you want to go to EU and want options without buying a ticket…look at BOS/NYC. There are other options from places you wouldn’t expect….SLC, AUS, RDU, CVG that are pretty open.
