Newbie Questions
I hope this is the right place for my questions, I'm new to nonrev.net too and tried to find the right spot!
I'm getting a few UAL buddy passes from a friend of a friend and I have a couple of questions I'm trying to avoid bugging her with:
1) I've flown Delta quite a bit using buddy passes and pass flyers can only standby on Delta flights using Delta equipment. Does UAL have the same rule for buddy passes and/or enrolled employees? Assuming that Continental flights/equipment would be included with that? (I have no idea if everything is officially changed over, forgive me) Or can I fly on a code-share flight?
2) UAL employees no longer get hit with the Y-fare as a bonus, right? Maybe this was never true, but I read somewhere that if the Y-fare was, for example, $600 the UAL employee would have that listed as a bonus on their paycheck and therefore have to pay taxes on it...I want to be sure that is no longer the case or be sure to budget in an extra "incentive" for my friend.
3) Does UAL put buddy pass flyers in first or business if there is space? At Delta this is pretty much a given, unless you've somehow royally p'd off the gate agent or wore ripped up jeans and tube top
4) Any other hints you want to share, I'm all ears!
Happy travels!
