Traveling on Buddy Pass on full flights
 

Alright, here's the deal. Me and lady friend are going to Cozumel later this week. I don't know what the best thing to do is. We live in Chicago, so we're going from O'Hare and I have passes on United and US Air.

Should we take US Air and try to go to CLT?:
The load for the 6am which would allow us to go to CZM has 0 seats available, and the 930 to czm has 3 seats available
The load for the 740am which would allow us to take the 1130am has 5 seats and 0 seats (respectfully)
We can take the 1130am from CLT-CUN also, which also has no seats available

Other option is to take United:
812am ORD-CZM is oversold by 5
But there's an 854, 1014 and 1054 all to CUN afterwards, but i beleive they're all full.

Reason why I list CUN is because we can go to Cancun, take the bus to playa del carmen and take the ferry over to cozumel.

I guess I'm asking, WWJD?

I just need 1 seat really, for the girl friend. I can jumpseat, and it looks like the ord-clt are on 190's, then all the other flight are on 319's or 320's with both carriers

Thou shalt not attempt to non-rev to Mexico during Spring Break. Maybe see how much a pos space ticket would be for her and you have the option of jumpseating. I just buy pos space tickets if I'm going to be travelling at peak travel seasons. A vacation should be stress-free. Sorry I'm not more help.

I would find a new destination (or travel date) with at least 10 seats open. You're either not going to make it there or somebody is going to get stuck in Mexico.

Plenty of options for you in ORD. Just stay there. I'm sure 1 flight on the 320 will have 1 passenger not show up.
If you can't get on any, oh well you are still at home.

I dont know...that goes against my personal non rev policy of either being at ord for as little time as possible, or not going through ord at all.

O'Hell is usually a nightmare.

We live 15 minutes from O'Hare, so I get the benefit of miscommuting passengers.

And seeing that all the flights are at around 8-11am, you know there's going to be a mx Mesa aircraft flying those pax in that'll get stuck.

All the loads are showing oversold with no non revs out of ORD, and the only thing I like about ORD is I have 4 options, where as in CLT I have 3 options, and they're all after a connection as well

This is the first week of spring break. It's going to get much worse, and this is my last month for travel, seeing that I'm upgrading here soon

The ALMIGHTY ID-90!!! Get some!

hmmmm, maybe and ID90 from ORD-MEM-CZM on Northwest?

How much should ID90's run? And are those guaranteed positive space?
