Thank you so much Mig, that is some really awesome advice! I lol'd at the "easier coming up with plan B, C, D at your kitchen table than at gate 47A". I'm sure that's so true! So I can edit my flight up until a few days before, correct?

You all have coached me so well for my first non-rev experience in a long time! And my first international non-rev experience! I can't thank you enough for all your answers to my questions. I really have a ridiculously better understanding of the process than I did before!
