Quote: Question on parents...

My parents are deceased. Will I be able to list my wife's mother and step-dad as my parents? Does it depend on the carrier?

From what I've read in other forums it seems like a yes for PSA/AA
No.
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.

Anyone care to enlighten whether non employee travelers, i.e. travel companions or enrolled friends, pay segment fees on AA or DL? or just on UA?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Not an OO employee, but I'm deciding.

Don’t base your choice off of travel benefits….

Definitely not. However, is the question I ask out of line, though? Genuinely curious if that's why no one chooses to answer a seemingly simple question.

Everything in one way shape or form has a cost attached to it.

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

Delta travel is just a flat fee for the year. $200 total I believe for everybody. I don’t have AA bennys at my domicile, so I can’t speak to that.

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.

The last thing you want to do is send a friend on non-rev travel.
