Hola Everyone,

I have never flown non-rev, mostly because I am a very new airline employee and I don't know how. When I read about loads, etc., it is completely foreign to me.

I have a few questions and would appreciate any feedback given at all.

I live in PA and fly out of PHL. I have heard/read horror stories about PHL but for now I will say my cup is "half-full". I am dating someone who lives in Tampa and my ex and I share custody of our three children every other weekend. Any pointers or tips on the best way to secure a non-rev flight out of PHL to TPA every other weekend and back? Of course, I know this depends on my work schedule etc.

Secondly, I would love to be able to show my children parts of the country or world they might not be able to see otherwise. Any pointers or tips on how to best secure non-rev out of PHL for four?

Lastly, I am considering going to the non-rev "gods" and attempting to non-rev over the President's Day weekend from PHL to TPA to SJU and then back to TPA and on to PHL from there. Any thoughts on the likelihood of it being possible considering this particular weekend? Also, would I have any better or worse luck if it was just my very significant other and I, or if I brought the kids along?

I appreciate any insight you can give. Even if it is to say "are you out of your mind"

Make it a great day!
