Thread: Attenntion all airline collegues and co workers buddy passes needed and will purchase

Welcome aboard Nacho40


As you probably know, the selling, bartering or trading of passes is frowned upon at most airlines. I doubt you’ll get any takers here. But I will keep my ears open regarding discount Hawaii fares.

And while I understand your anxiousness, cross posting adds unnecessary clutter to the Forum. I have deleted your second identical post.

With all due respect, this probably won't happen. For one thing, Hawaii is a VERY difficult destination for nonrevs going standby, especially those on buddy passes. Especially if you're asking for 10-14 passes. I'm assuming that means 5-7 people? Ouch. For another, as employees we are liable for our buddy pass travelers. In other words, if you don't get on a flight and whine and complain to the gate agent, or other things not following NRSA etiquette, we the employees can lose our flight privileges, or possibly worse depending on how bad it is. Not something most people would trust to a complete stranger. Finally, the number of passes you're asking for is a LOT considering how many most airlines get. To give you a rough idea, I know that US Airways employees get 16 one-way passes per year, which can include connections if necessary. United employees get 24 segments. If you took a nonstop flight, 10-14 flights about half of what we get in a year. With a connection would be almost everything we get, maybe even more.

I'm sure there's more that I'm not thinking of, but I'd REALLY suggest to get cracking on searching. Your odds are approximately 0. Usually about 3-6 weeks in advance is the prime time to buy for price, but sometimes it's also good earlier. Go to kayak.com, and play around with dates (use the flexible dates option to look at +/- 3 days) and try flexibility in airports (LAX also has ONT, BUR, SNA, LGB, and maybe SAN. SFO has OAK and SJC... you get the idea). Also, I think Allegiant has started service to HNL a while back. They upcharge you on every little thing, but the fares themselves can be pretty cheap. They also may not show up in Kayak or what have you, so try their website separately. Check those cities out: Honolulu International Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I believe you need to rethink the "reunion" and let your sister go to Hawaii with her husband. If you can arrange for all the others to get together either before or after and you can spring a surprise wedding on them at the same time, good for you.
If not, make this about your sister, not you. She's had 30 yrs of tough medical issues. If you can find some good fares, have a great time. I seriously doubt you can get any action here, nor any similar site.
