Man, I wish I could get my wife to join me on an overnight. But standby travel... not her thing.

There are a few of our overnights where transportation is by a car that will fit only 3 crew. On those, I'd uber.

I would never try this with JUST a child too young to spend the night on their own at an airport/hotel. Flights get overbooked, airplanes get broken, and flight crews time out. Now if my wife was traveling with the kid(s) on said occasion, that's another story.

Haven’t tried it yet, she wants to, I’m wondering what have others done???? Any issues?

There was an HI6 a while ago about calling the hotel to confirm that you will have an additional person. like others have said, some hotels only plan on having the small car or van but will be glad to change if they know before hand.

When you put in for the voluntary seat lock when does it go into effect? Just wondering when I’ll start seeing that 5 hour pay override, does it begin once you’re off IOE, or would it start next month?

I appreciate everyone’s useful feedback! This is one aspect of the job that never crossed my mind. Great to utilize once in a while, on a long overnight, on a lost day. This seems to be great especially for those who living in base! One leg, frequent flights per day to good overnight locations.

I’ve seen CAs do it without any additional considerations. Only way I could see it blowing up is if another crew member decides to raise hell with the company.

What reason would any crew member have to do that?
