Well now I'm more confused! But I appreciate the responses guys. I'll just pull a safe number from my bank. Thanks again.

 

In DBMS (iCrew or eCrew), you will find what you're looking for under "Qualifications" and "Block Hours Flown."

 

Stupid question ...

My parents get S2 and S3 passes. They are "activated" in TravelNet. They do not have DAL badges or IDs. What is the process for them to NON-REV?

Do I list them for the flight. Then they go to a kiosk/DAL counter and check in using a normal ID?

Thanks ...

 

Looking at it, it seems like lower out of pocket may be the PPO-A before things are covered at 100%.

I've had the HRA gold for a while and have not been particularly pleased with the large amount of out of pocket, and we're looking at starting to crank out the wee ones. It looks like the PPO-A is a good grand less out of pocket with a significantly lower deductible. Hows my math?

 

Hawaiian Airlines orders 5 more Airbus A330


On November 17, 2011 Hawaiian announced the next step in its long-range fleet renewal and expansion plan with the signing of a new firm order with Airbus to purchase five new A330-200 aircraft for delivery between 2013 and 2015, with purchase rights for an additional three A330s.

With these five new A330s on order, Hawaiian will be adding 13 new A330s to its fleet between 2013 and 2015. This is in addition to the five A330s Hawaiian currently has in service and four new A330s that will join the fleet in 2012. The company has financing commitments in place for all of its 2012 deliveries and two of its 2013 orders.

Hawaiian's A330 deliveries between 2013 and 2015 will provide, in part, for the retirement of 10 Boeing 767-300 aircraft over approximately the same period as the company continues its progressive transition to a new fleet of A330s and A350XWB-800 (Extra Wide-Body) aircraft for its North America and international service. Hawaiian's net fleet growth during this period will be three aircraft.

All of Hawaiian's new A330s will carry 294 passengers in a two-class configuration – 30 more passengers per aircraft than its current fleet of 16 Boeing 767-300 ER aircraft. The new A330s are more fuel-efficient than the 767s and have a longer operating range, giving Hawaiian the option to open new nonstop routes between Hawaii and points throughout all of North America and eastern Asia.

Hawaiian has used its growing fleet of new A330s to meet increased consumer demand for its services to Honolulu from Las Vegas , Los Angeles , San Francisco and Tokyo , and will also use A330 aircraft for its daily nonstop New York City - Honolulu service beginning June 5, 2012.

Introduction of the A330 into Hawaiian's fleet has also fueled the expansion of its route network internationally. Within the past year, Hawaiian has launched three new routes between Honolulu and Asia – Tokyo ( November 2010), Seoul (January 2011), and Osaka, Japan (July 2011). The company has also announced service to Fukuoka, Japan beginning in April 2012.

Additional new services are expected to be announced in the coming months.
The next-generation, longer-range A350s will further strengthen Hawaiian's capability to grow its route network internationally. Hawaiian's A350s will seat more than 300 passengers in a two-class configuration and have a range of 8,300 nautical miles, enabling Hawaiian to fly nonstop between Hawaii and any viable tourism source market around the world.

 

Yes, just as you described. They will have the option of selecting S2 or S3 upon check-in (helpful if they know the differences and limitations).

 

Thanks Cubdrick.

After working 4 years for DAL, my mom decided she wants to fly somewhere. SNAFU.

 

At the kiosk, she can either use a Credit Card or the 6 character record locator to check in. My parents have only flown once and the credit card thing worked great.

 

Just out of curiosity...how do your parents get S2 and S3 passes? Mine travel as S3B. Does it change if you are single? By the way, take the record locator and you can check in online for her. You can print out the seat request from delta.com up to 24 hours prior to the flight. Saves a trip to the kiosk.

 

My parents rarely use the travel benefit. If they don't get on a flight, they act as if their world imploded. They are typical of people who don't travel by air regularly, as soon as they get to the airport, they lose their minds, can't read signs, are overwhelmed by the crowds, etc.

Long and short, if you are going to list your parents for a flight, make it one they will likely get on and have a good experience with. The unending whining if they don't is just not worth hearing if they have a semi-bad experience.
