AA Non-REV FC TUL-ORD-DEL

A friend and I are traveling Non-Rev to India in Feb 2012. We are listed for first class. I was wondering if anyone knows what the loads are like for AA292 from ORD-DEL? Right now I can see that FC looks wide open but I am using the AA website. I would say that FC would not be booked based on the cost. Also what is the procedure if flying into ORD from a smaller airport (TUL) and the next leg of the trip not starting until the next day? Do I grab my bags or do they stay with the airline until the next day. Any help is much appreciated.. I have Non-Rev'd before but just not internationally.

be aware of how long it takes to get an Indian visa.I'm going to post a link to a great article in the Specailty Travel section.
PS--all nonrev is better to do w/carry-on bags only

Welcome aboard DP79
Can’t tell you flight history, but I can tell you that non-revving on a once a day flight out of ORD in Feb, you’re gonna need to plan meticulously, be flexible, have backups and be able to improvise and execute quickly. M76er’s has given you the key to non-rev improvisation - “traveling light”.
The bane of travel is the unexpected, and non-revving on a once a day int'l flight out of Chicago in the dead of winter, puts those non-rev travel gremlins on steroids.


BTW, had friends non-revving on a once a day, int’l flight into JFK last Saturday (the day of the East Coast blizzard, diverted flights and missed connections) took them three days.

The loads seem light in Feb. FC is wide open at the moment.
