That said. You’ll learn non-rev is not for the faint of heart. I don’t wish it upon my mother-in-law.
Blame Captain Kirk & The Internet. Airlines dump open domestic seats on the market just before departure. Two days prior? 50 seats avail. Day of, Priceline breaks your heart. Non-rev truly sucks.
Get an Amex Skymiles credit card and use those miles for family domestic travel. Non-rev international. You’ll even score an occasional sweet upgrade international.
Off holiday ski trips do pretty well non rev. Like a wed-wed.

I believe taxes etc. That said non-rev travel is really challenging - when I want to go on a trip with my spouse, I typically don't bother with nonrev as gotta be willing to get bumped all the time etc. It's far from a benefit in my experience. Sure if you follow loads, etc it can work out but not worth it if you have a set time you gotta be somewhere. Heck cant even get much time off to do a trip

I have had pretty good luck with non-rev. Plan ahead and have some flexibility built into your plans. Often the early or late flight is the way to go.
