Is the holiday pass a positive space pass for your spouse or family or just higher priority? Where I want to take them will require a connection in Atlanta for them and I don’t want to get them stranded.
Thanks

Its a lower priority. Everyone uses S2 around the holidays. The passes are S2B.

S2B is less than S2, but more than S3. Best of luck.

IOW, the S2B your family gets is pretty much worthless if every other passrider (assuming they're riding with an S2-holding employee) wants to use one of their 6 S2s to put themselves ahead of your fam. Pretty good deal, huh? I'm sure Sailingfun will be here soon to put a better spin on it.

There is no entitlement for a spouse trying to go with a spouse on a holiday to bump a pilot trying to get to/from work on a holiday when the pilot is even willing to burn an S2 to do so. In that case, the pilot using an S2 should absolutely go ahead of the spouse who isn't even willing or able to (because they already used them all up or want to save them for something else).

Its an optional extra free higher priority than an S3. If they want a full S2, use one of theirs. Simple.

And speaking of nonrev roulette, I'm going to try and get 5 to TLV in February. I know El-Al is a great backup with that great big 747 they fly every day. Any gotchas I need to be aware of coming or going?
