    Welcome!I am with Pinnacle too.Here is how the travel works for us:No buddy passes.Unlimited domestic flying.Unlimited to Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Central and South America.Three transoceanic flights per anniversary year, meaning if you go from ATL to CDG and back, you have used two of your three.We fly at S3C, so pretty much everybody else gets on before us.We also get ZED discounts on many other carriers.It is still a nice perk and my family and I use it often...........

    Default Thanks

    Thanks for the response

    Wow, have that affected your travel much or once you study the flight system you get a good idea of when to fly to increase your odds of getting on?

    Is there any particular method that works for you?

    One last thing, have you used ZED fares?

    If yes is it a lower ever than S3C?

    Sorry for all the questions

    ohrass...dont let the s3c boarding priority scare you...you have said you flew a lot on buddy passes, that is an s4 boarding priority, so you will be moving up the ladder so to speak in the priority system...
    when you fly using a zed fare on another airline, you are at the bottom of the list behind their employee and passriders...

    I have not had any problems with the S3C but I plan very well.

    Gotcha! I usually plan but I normally flew by myself with buddy passes, now I have to plan much better as there will be anywhere from 2 to 4 of us

    DeltaFlyer...........I should have figured that one out, thanks for pointing that out I have flown quite a bit on buddy passes and it did just hit me that they are S4 boarding priority...awesome!
