Don't forget the seven "energy bar" wrappers next to his crushed shoes from Payless.

You guys that say never non rev with kids on vacation are crazy. My wife and three kids have non reved all over the world,never been an issue. Worst thing that has ever happened to us is we were delayed a day or flew to a city two and half hours away drove home. Been doing this for over 25 yrs 14 with kids. And would never think of using crew rest area for my kids and wife to sleep overnight.

It was a legit question, asked courteously.
Some of you give humans a bad name.

I’ve been doing United standby game for 30 years now, so I know all to well how good and how bad it can be. All I can say to those new to the game or haven’t done much NRSA with the family is to use your head and don’t put the family through hell to save a grand or so of greenbacks.

A few years ago (2015iirc)the wife and I made a weekend trip to NYC. We flew into Newark on the first flight in. Wife wasn’t handling the early morning travel well. I took her down to the crew room to relax and collect herself before we hopped on the train downtown. Some Flight manager was all over my ass about it. I tried to explain we weren’t flying anywhere else but he continued to harass us. We weren’t spending the night and we weren’t non-Revving out. We just needed a second of peace. I guess I should’ve known Newark is the last place to go for some peace and quiet. Lesson learned.
