I guess this would somewhat fall under QOL? I start class April 6th and was curious of the experience traveling with your family on the bennies. Do you current guys/gals find it pretty easy to non-rev with family on F9? I found good info in other posts about the program overall, but more interested in ease of use/success...

cheers!

Most of the flights will show full on the website but we have a high number of no shows. The only frustrating part about non revving on Frontier is the lack of frequencies and options.

Honestly if the schedule works for you like you live in base, our domestic benefits are unmatched since you’re not competing with anyone for non rev seats. I never used buddy passes when I had American benefits they were practically useless but I have friends and family use us all the time now.

The hidden gem are our 20% off tickets...we normally book RT fares for $23-35 per person. Checked and carry-ons are free.

This! Why play a non rev game when you can get tickets for $35

I non-rev, arguably more than most here, with my family and have never missed a flight in 3 1/2 years. Only twice were we not all sitting together. Usually 3-1 o 2-2. Never scattered. And 85% of the time, we’re in stretch seating. I’ve had non-rev benefits on 5 other airlines, including a legacy, and Frontier is by far the best in the industry, as far as I’m concerned, at utilizing non-rev benefits.

The only real issue at F9 is our dartboard-like schedule.

I’d also like to add that our F/A’s have been stellar at “taking care” of us as non-rev. But ALWAYS have your credit card out and ready, just in case.

By far the best benefit, as others have mentioned, is our EZ20 positive space ticket. 20% off the lowest fare, assigned seats, and 2 checked, 1 carry-on+personal item. Can’t be beat AFAIC.

apparently, we can now do it on ID90travel, but I haven’t figured out how to do it yet.

Best way is to call reservations and let them know you’re booking an EZ20. I’ve ran into agents that don’t know what they’re doing, though. Best thing to do is hang up and call back as trying to explain it just adds to further confusion and frustration.

Thanks. Figured it out and deleted my question, but you have good addition info...

The company said the EZ20 online booking feature would be available sometime in the 1st quarter and they would let us know. Haven’t seen anything further about it yet.

as for calling reservations, there’s a specific number to call to avoid getting someone who doesn’t know how to book EZ20 tickets. The number is in the pass bureau section of the intranet site.

FO reserve time in PHL?
