So I came across an interesting article in our newsletter that listed the top stand-by, non-rev, staff travel (call it what you want) destinations for our employees
Longhaul
JFK
MIA
LAX
BKK
SIN
Shorthaul
LHR
VIE
ZRH
BCN
AMS
Wondering if you have a similar list or just rough guesses for your own airline and staff favorite or frequent destinations on own metal. And I'm not talking about stand-by black holes. Though the two may be one and the same
We don't have a list that I've ever seen but my guesses would be: HNL, ANC, LAX, possibly PVR and SJD.
The List ALWAYS starts with the 3 letter city code I am standing by for!
Well I put it this way - "Why is it that on the flight I am standing by for - the whole darn world is too" ?
Even if I buy a discount ticket that darn flight is also full (was the reason I bought the positive space) !
Fullness is never appreciated when it messes with my travel plans - selfish - you darn right !
People people go get your own standby flight !
If I'm buying a ticket, I'd rather it be on a full flight where I'm glad I bought the ticket than an empty one where I could have stood by! I spent $440 on 2 round trip tickets DEN-MCO with an employee discount recently. While that wasn't too bad, the plane was wide open, with dozens of seats available by the time we took off. The peace of mind was great, and the fare wasn't *that* bad, but you can't beat free!
Out of ATL we see MCO, LAX, LOS as the top for nonrevs. Verified by Ted (DL Gate Agent, 48yrs)..
