Hi
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
Read your company's non-rev travel rules.

List for all flights, including connections and return. Do not list on your back ups. Trust me, the punishment for multiple listings is NOT standing in the corner [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Back up plans (alternate flights, alternate airports, alternate routing). In other words, plan your trip as if Murphy's Law was written with you in mind. Trust me, it's much easier coming up with plan D at your kitchen table than at gate 47A.

Scheduling, as a general rule midweek, non holiday periods are the best, with early morning the best times. Try to stay away from the last flight of the day. That last flight is kinda like the last elephant at the circus, no options.

Check loads and the weather forecast. Believe me either can change at the very last minute and put a major 'hitch in your getalong'. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Lastly, as a veteran of the middle seat, remember armrests have no owners, establish dominance at the earliest opportunity. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Have Fun![/list]

Keep'em flying
