Non Rev DL

[NK_DL_TZ]

DL is the best Non_Rev travel system in the industry!!! period!.... If you are using FedEx on DL your priority will be low so Plan on taking early flights and allow yourself enough time to get to your destination, often you will have to wait for the next flight.....

Good luck!

This site is terrific! All these responses have been helpful. All of them. I'm encouraged to hear from a non DL person how easy they are to travel on. One point for DC333 that, quite frankly I'm not sure about...if DL sells the tickets, would the SEA-GEG not work even if it is a codeshare? I think that is great point and if not, I will have to shoot for SLC or MSP.
One last thing...We have to buy these things 13 biz days prior so getting a good idea of actual loads probably won't be possible, but any suggestions on best days to do this generally?
Thanks

Unfortunately, even though Delta codeshares on the Horizon flights, the Delta passes are only valid on Delta operated flights. Do you (Fedex) have a seperate agreement with Alaska/Horizon? I remember checking in a Fedex dependent just a few months ago with some form of Interline pass. It may be worth looking into.

True that... very very jealous of their non rev system

I'm intrigued by this... what kind of positions at FedEx get nonrev abilities? What kinds of fares are you charged, some kind of ZED?

Reminds me of a story. We had (maybe do... who knows) an agreement with FedEx for packages. The facility in MEL is quite far away in a suburb called Derimut. My old ticket companion lived in LHR so this used to be the cheapest and most secure way of sending paper tickets to her (why they couldn't just be printed at LHR is another story... as is why are we still using paper tickets). I'd sent some a few weeks earlier then showed up again and got told our agreement with Fedex was suspended. Emails back and forth with HKG and it was confirmed it was suspended, then decided it wasn't.... not really sure where it stands right now.

Suffice to say I haven't been back to Derrimut... but the next tickets I sent via Australia Post were lost by Royal Mail when they got to the UK. What luck!
