baseball3792 gave by far the best explanation.

Non-rev (called Staff Traveler outside US) with family takes planning. Also, your family has to be "trained", i.e. always carry-on only and be willing to endure discomfort if long flights/red-eyes/airport lay-overs etc

We average around 20 International flights (on these airlines included in our benefits: LH, SW, AF, SN, KL, IB, SAS, AC, EK, ET, AM, OS, AV, FI, KQ, LA, LO from a total of approx 80 airlines) per year, and after 20 years seldom had to use our back-up (always have a second flight, even if it goes to a city close to where you want to be). I use Staff Travel app to check loads on other airlines.

Enjoy

Does Spirit allow you to list in laws in lieu of parents as pass travelers?

Hey, all…question you may (or not) know the answer to.

I’m a pilot at not-Spirit. I occasionally non-rev on Spirit, and everyone is wonderful, by the way.

My question: If I purchase a ticket (for a commute; I’d be in uniform), would the gate agents charge me for my bag? Non-rev is no bag fee.

Just curious. Thanks, all.

I my experience: uniform, anything goes... But there is always a chance you bump into the wrong gate agent.

I will say most EU carriers have a 20lbs8Kg-ish weight limit on carry on. I commuted internationally for a while, and have gone back quite a few times since, and always make sure I pack REALLY light...
(VA, in uniform on NRSA would 100% take my roller and check it)
