Huh!? Is English a second language or something? What does miscommuting even mean?

Theres a reason there are no non-revs listed. No one in their right mind non-revs to Mexico during Spring Break. And someone correct me if I'm wrong, but you might be able to jumpseat to Mexico, but you will not be able to ride THE JUMPSEAT to Mexico. International flight, bub. You're gonna need a seat in the back whether you are listed as a non-rev or a jumpseater. Like someone else said, one or both of you is gonna get stuck coming or going. Speaking from experience, if only one of you is going to make it on a flight out of Mexico, it better be your girlfriend if you ever hope to see her again when you get Stateside.

 

Don't believe they are positive space but I think they are a step above standard space available non-revs since you basically pay a fare. The price is based on 10% of the unrestricted coach fare plus taxes and fees.

 

I meant misconnecting. And I was talking about seats available.

The loads coming back from Mexico are VERY light. I'm talking 50 seats available from CZM-CLT and 30 seats from CLT-ORD because we're leaving in the middle of the week

 

I tried to look at a USA3000 ID90, but we have to reserve them 21 days before flight, and we're leaving at the end of this week. I just got the hotel and resort all booked the other day to

 

It never occurred to you that non-revving to Mexico in Spring might be a problem?

None the less, I wish you luck. Stranger things have happened. Let us know how it turns out.

 

I agree. If you've already booked it you might as well try and go or at least have the hotel's number handy so that maybe you can change your reservation if you don't get on a flight. Stranger things HAVE happened. I've gotten on oversold flights that they were soliciting volunteers for. Just have an A, B and C plan ready to go. Hope your lady friend enjoys an adventure My girlfriend and I went to Cabo last April and the flight we were trying to get on said it was oversold the night before. But when we got to the airport, lots of misconnects and we ended up in first class. Go figure.

As far as the ID-90s, it might be worth talking to someone in your company's travel office about it and find out who you can get one on and what the rules for using it are. Usually it puts you a step above standard non-revs but you are still below revenue pax obviously. But if theres no non-revs you need to trump, no need to use one really. They are nice to have in your back pocket though and you can usually get a full refund if you don't use it. I'd just keep an eye on it. Best of luck to you.

 

Non-rev to Mexico during spring break - Gutsiest move I ever saw, man

 

Yea, kinda, but at the same time it was a last minute decision to go, and we found an all inclusive resort for $980 for both of us for 4days, 3 nights, and this is our first vacation together.

Each flight is oversold only by 2 people, and like i said, all early flights. I've been able to get on oversold flights from vegas to o'hare, and many other places as well. I just remember what one captain has told me...you never know until that door closes

 

I talked to the travel agent through perx.com, and she told me I had alot of options that may help. She recommended maybe going somewhere else, but seeing that I could go to CZM or CUN, it doesn't seem too bad.

I'm just hoping for bad weather in ORD on that day

 

The best option is to let your lady friend use US air and fly into clt or phl the night before and take the first flight out the next morning. US air standby list are not usually that long and the first flight out of PHL and CLT should have space. I always go the night before and take the first flight out of PHL. you want to pick a early flight where paying passenger can't connect to.
