Thread: Buddy pass and S2 questions

Hi Jason,
Buddy Passes (S4) are paid for with a credit card at the time of booking, which answers your next question, yes you need to declare where you are going. Not sure about the expiration.. maybe one year from date of issue. If you do not use them for some reason, they are 100% refundable.

Vacation Passes (S2) are good for a travel day. Once you list as an S2 that is your priority for all flights that day.

Thanks for the info.

What happens if the buddy pass person doesn't make the flight, do they get rolled to the next flight like anyone else?
What about the next day?

Thanks again.

Could anyone point me in the right direction? A few yrs. ago my roommate and best friend set me up as her travel companion. DL PPR # etc. I Guess because in 10yrs. I'm the only one on the planet that hasn't hit her up for passes etc. She pays the 50 every yr. But, I have never used the privilege. I have a general idea how it works. But, I'd like to nail down a general idea of cost. Is the privilege just a reduced rate or do I travel like she would at a very nominal fee. The pass travel pocket card has my pass eligibility date of 1979. My daughter lives in TX. and it would be kinda cool to pop in give her a hug, then blast off. Anyone have a guesstimate what something like that would cost?

Thanks in advance, Any response is appreciated. Jim.

Thank you very much Mrs... You deserve a hug for such a fast response! I've searched some the forums the past few days. And, came to the conclusion that you and Mig-something were the Aces-of-the-Bases! Gonna change the oil in my roommates car and winterize her bike. She'll dig that. So, bottom line for me is Fees/taxes/yield fare/mileage. add it all up and rule of thumb would be about .20cents a mi? And, I can use her seniority. Other than work she seldom flies. So, I should probably get off the dime and check out the travel codes avail. to me? I have access to DL intranet. But, want to make sure I stay under the radar until i know what I'm doing. Don't want to make waves.

Thanks again, Mrs.
