Thread: Buddy Pass from SYD to LAX - Odds of getting on?

Past info: yesterday 2 buddies got on, 4 seats left
today--2 HK's got coach--must have upgraded revs to accommodate HKs
Oct 31/Nov1/Nov2 150/75/100 6 wks to go
Buddy pass booked OW will not allow you to use the other half later BTW (if you're using it as second leg of Asia trip, that's ok) Good luck and check back.

Thanks for all of the helpful information and quick response! I will be going alone most likely (never have traveled solo before, so a little nervous). Do you think it's a bad idea to ask one other friend to tag along? Is it really difficult to get 2 people on with the buddy pass?

"Oct 31/Nov1/Nov2 150/75/100 6 wks to go" <-- please excuse me if this is a silly question, but do the corresponding numbers mean how many passengers have a paid seat?

Thanks for your response, too, Tony!
