Non Rev BS
Tried to non rev today with the wife to Ok City thru MSP or ATL. Based on TravelNet, we thought we had a great chance. 8 Aurhorized. Get to the gate, after checking 2 bags. Watching it on my phone, see 7 or 8 unassigned seats. Long story short, only 1 seat left and I send the wife. I wait for next 2 flights to no avail, go home after 4 hours at airport. Gave up on the trip.
Major issues with:
-TravelNet numbers even more worthless than B4
-60% max in coaxh/comfort is only for Noneevs!!
-Aurhorozed numbers are based on 67% WTF!!!
-Agent waited to clear NRevs til 8 min b4 departure
How can you plan travel when the numbers on Travelnet don't reflect what is really happening News? Do you have to do the math for 60% of revenue paxs???

It's bullcrap but it changes October 1st. 75% of the cabin will be allowed to be full but still all middle seats blocked unless you are a party sitting together. So if a family moves to sit next to each other any open isle or window seat is available for all nonrevs.

From: 3+ hour sit in the ATL
Sorry to hear that Cog. As EDV indicated should be better on or after 1 Oct as the seating goes to 75%.
Thanks for taking the VEOP. Most appreciated. And when I do get to the left seat, hit me up, I'll get you on my plane.

Gate agents have a chart and have to manually count seats I think. Adds a large burden on them to stay under 60/65% and it may be easier to just play it safe and keep a few nonrevs in the gate area when there’s doubt or a time crunch. At least it’s Covid-safe though.

Well thank goodness for that 1% or this thing might get out of control. You should just play it safe and not nonrev. Stay safer at home. Never go outside.
