Thread: Non-Rev with new TSA requirements?

I am new to this board and have read the articles, but I didn't see my particular issue.

I am my sister's registered guest for USAir. I have not attempted to Non-Rev since the introduction of the recent TSA requirments governing carry-on luggage. I used to always travel with one carry-on, but with the restriction on liquids (ie contact lens solution, etc) I would have to check my bags and I have been concerned that my luggage won't follow me - especially if I don't make a flight at the last minute. How do the airlines keep track?

Also, I used to pick random fun alternative destinations to list for from the hubs if my initial destination was oversold. (For example, couldn't make it to New Orleans, but Savanah, Georgia sounded fun ~ so I flew there instead.) Can I still do this?
