I remember reading something years ago about British Airways not joining the EZed ticket program nor taking paper tickets, thus not being able to non-rev on them. I looked through the Interline section of DeltaNet and couldn't find anything either.

But we would get better deals on Air France anyway, since we have a JV pricing, which is even cheaper than Zed fares. I think between KLM and AF you'd be set anyway, unless BA is the only carrier available for your departure city.

I had my non-rev privileges threatened for disagreeing with the 5 second answer I was given when trying to get a refund--they wouldn't even look up the ticket code to confirm that it WAS refundable, they just disagreed and then threatened me when I pressed them to look it up.

You can find normal Delta tickets online for less, also.
DO NOT USE THE EMPLOYEE "FLY FOR LESS"!!!!!
;)

Yikes! I just tried to do it and it was double the price of what I can get on a travel website. Im not surprised though. I find that almost everything on the employee perks site is more expensive than anywhere else.

Sheesh!! It's been 4 hours since Carl posted this and nobody responded. The only thing missing is a cheese rack. Well...maybe you could put some cheese in her rack!!! Nice find Carl. (-:

If you want some cheese with Carls find, buy it from Beehive cheese in Ogden. One of our very own has close ties to this company.

So I guess I'm moving in the right direction.:rolleyes:

Just remember, management is selling it as a permanent reset. Stay humble. Don't get greedy.



"We also understand the importance of keeping all of our people together and investing in our people and in that labor and in the success that drives the improvements that you've seen in the business.

Do you think this means we will get a turkey sandwich for Christmas now? :)

Umm. No.

Not that it is relevant, however, this is airline number three. One regional and two majors. This is the only one that does not have holiday meals in the lounges for pilots. Apparently they do for everyone else.

At the other airlines, the turkey dinner was for all the employees on duty in one lounge together.

We are truly numbers here.

If you are going for lowest possible price confirmed seats go straight for fly confirmed for even less.

Use delta.com or kayak.com to find the lowest possible ticket price. Then plug those flights into the fly confirmed for even less template and you will get the discount on the lowest priced tickets you could find.

Typically the lowest price tickets are non-refundable anyways so nothing is lost by using the non-refundable fly confirmed for even less option.

Stay away from the "refundable" fly confirmed for less.
While it sounds like those ticket are refundable, that's only true if the pre-discount fare basis was refundable. If the pre-discount fare is non-refundable, then the fly confirmed for less "refundable" ticket is also non-refundable...

Most likely you aren't looking at full fare refundable tickets anyways if you're asking about the discount program ;-)

It's a great program to knock some money off a confirmed ticket when you can't afford to play roulette with non-reving...

Cheers
George
