They charge parents a non rev fee to fly on our own metal. Only spouse gets to fly "free". Pretty damn worthless if you ask me.



They gotta pay imputed income tax for the IRS. I think all airlines make the parent pay.

No they don’t. Didn’t even charge me at the regionals when I had delta and United Benefits. Mom and Dad could fly wherever they wanted and pay $0...

imputed income is for a “companion traveler” , if you are not married you can add a friend to your benefits.

If it was international of course a small international tax

It’s per leg. It’s not a good deal/benefit. Most often it’s more expensive then buying a confirmed seat. To use our 50% off confirmed tickets for wife and kids you also have to buy a confirmed ticket and travel with them. Once again not a good benefit. We used to be able to give our friends a confirmed ticket for 25% off. That is now gone. Once again a good benefit that was taken away. Travel benefits are way behind the industry norm.

The most overlooked part of this discounted ticket "benefit" is that the 50 or 25% discount is taken off of the highest available fare. Not even remotely worth the hassle!

Good point. I forgot to mention that. It’s hard to use a “benefit” when you feel like you are being taken advantage of.

They have been enough to get me all over the world. Did you happen to start the "whats there latest" thread?
