Tell me about it. I had to buy tickets for eight recently for a summer vacation. Non revving? No thanks. Got a great deal from Qatar. JK. SWA

Went to HNL for our anniversary. Just bit the bullet and bought first class tickets. Had we tried to non rev, we would wouldn't have gotten on in either direction....for days. If it's important. Buy a ticket or go on a positive space pass.

I'm SW Rapid Rewards member. I'm done non revving. Buy a ticket on Delta and watch a S-4 take a first class seat.

Yes. I called IT three times in 5 days. They were able to do something each time to get my password to change without resetting it. A different excuse from them each time, but they did 'fix it' each time.

Yes. I called IT three times in 5 days. They were able to do something each time to get my password to work without resetting it. A different excuse from them each time, but they did 'fix it' each time.

"Plans" are not compatible with "space-available" travel. If more people recognized the trap that is NRSA, there'd be a lot less angst all around. It serves a purpose, but these days there's no excuse to rely on it when travel plans aren't flexible.

Honestly, that 2 hour prior lister is probably going about it the right way, not the wrong way.

We booked a one way cruise from Anchorage to Vancouver a couple years ago and asked if there were many families on the ship. The agent told us there were lots of families. She was right, but most of the kids were my age.. :eek:

Old folk like to be close to a place to lie down with a convienient pot. Hence the popularity of the "Cruise."

Are you changing the password in iCrew or DeltaNet? For it to be as pain free as possible, do it through DeltaNet. I believe IT knows there are porblems with syncing the password if done through iCrew.

I'm changing it through DeltaNet. I click on "forgot my password" after the system locks me out and follow the prompts.

I haven't called them yet. I just keep resetting my password after telling them the town in which my parents met and my mother's middle name for the fourth time this week. It looks like I'm back in for the moment. Fingers crossed.

Of course if you have an important reservation (rental car/hotel/cruise ...) flying standby is not the way to go. But if your plans are flexible I'd much rather roll the dice and wind up with DeltaOne across the pond vs steerage.

My problem is with people who were planning a trip and decide at the very last minute to list for a flight -- thus crushing the plans of those who list early. I mean, why not list early so all the players have as much knowledge as possible of their chances of getting on the flight. Trying to take a little game theory out of the equation.
