Buddy pass for a domestic flight last December I gave to my sister was $60 one way, this year it’s $80, quite an increase. Was there some point in the past before I came to the airlines that the buddy passes weren’t semi-worthless? I can hardly give these things away when you can get a guaranteed seat on a ULCC for not much more.

Yeah they really are. I just tell friends to spend the extra $20 for a cheap ticket and enjoy a guaranteed seat. Not worth the time or effort to use the buddy pass.

Back in the day before the merger, D3s were cheaper and it was much easier to get on flights to most places. However, it still wasn't some crazy perk. I was more comfortable giving them out back then though. Now it's just not worth it.
