Our family want to go to London in October via our daughter's airline privileges. Our current plan is to travel non-stop from Dallas DFW to Heathrow flying American Airlines. AA does not include her brother in their ZED travel, so we will have to purchase him a confirmed seat while the rest of us (me, husband, daughter) fly standby. Is this a really risky thing to do? We thought traveling in October will give us more availability and non-stop no chances of being bumped before heading out over the Atlantic. Has anyone ever mixed confirmed seat travel with standby? Has anyone traveled non-rev in October to London and how was your experiences? We are in the beginnning stages of our planning, so we are able eto change our dates somewhat, but once my husband has requested time off of work, that's pretty much a done deal. Please reply! We are anxious to know everthing about nonrev travel to London. Thanks a bunch!
