I don't know where you want to go or how badly you want to get there, but it might be worth it to check for low fares if you're taking people with you. I tried to take my family out to the west coast last month via non-rev, but we never made it as the flights were full. Sometimes you can find a low fare that's not much more than yield fare, and you get a guaranteed seat (which is what we're doing next time). I don't mind non-reving by myself, but I've learned that it's not worth it if you're traveling with others.
