UA pass travel questions
Hey everyone;
Trying to get a handle on the UA nonrev benefits after being in the Delta system for ages. Just a few questions-
Are we eligible for vacation passes?
Are we eligible for the service fee waived low priority code?
My mom, dad, and primary friend were all being charged somewhere between 60-75 dollars to list on a domestic flight. They listed in coach, and it's my understanding that immediate family and eligible friends don't pay service fees unless they're in first/business. Any idea what these charges are? The website gives no detail other than the total bill.
Obviously I'll get in touch with our pass bureau when they reopen tomorrow, but I figured I'd ask here in the interim.

International it is a bit more for your family and travel companion, it depends on where you go, but it could be $80 one-way up to $120 one-way. You should beable to see all the charges once you book it on EmployeeRes website Btw, regional carriers are SA5 listing code which is always last on the standby list... HAVE FUN!! LOL

Still an awesome perk though!

No lukewarm doubletree cookies for me, you ever look at the calorie count? I swear they're made of pure lard.

UA Travel Pass
I'm new to this got an interview next month. My question is- there are no airports around me with AW service, just Mesa and XpressJet as United Express. So if my wife wanted to travel(and me on vacation) do we have to pay for a pass for her to get on a flight?
