Thread: Can a Buddy or Companion pass be used multiple times?

My answer is overwhelmingly NO. And my reasons are as follows

1. Most important, Travel companion pass is not to be sold, emp could/should be fired for the abuse of priveleges and cause huge headaches for you.

2. I don't know how trustworthy this person is, but he/she may plan to end their employment soon and trying to screw you to make nice $$$$. They can't be that trustworthy if they're going behind their companies back like this.

3. Companion pass is relatively worthless. If going somewhere expensive, its a good deal, like ASE, HDN, EYW or STT; but whatever airline you fly you can usually find a confirmed ticket for less than double price. My brother flew home from GPT, yield fare was 98 bucks(got bumped 3 hrs till next flight coming up, had to drive to BWI to go back down), confirmed seat would have been 220. My friend in MCO is coming home for christmas, I actually wouldn't give him a buddy pass because no one is non-revving 12/23; but even so, yield fare is like 110, I refered him to allegiant from SFB, cost him 180 r/t, confirmed.

4. Non-revving can be a real pain. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the privelege. But, wx delays, mtc delays, cxld flights are such a killer to non-revving. No matter the reason, if you don't get a flight, you're on your own, no meal voucher, no hotel, no taxi to nearby airport, nothing. And of course the baggage, if it gets lost, tough. They'll try to find it, but you cannot get free delivery, you can't make a claim for damaged bags, etc.

Non revving is great for me and most employees, but I think it would be a very bad option for business travelers, etc. without the flexibility necessary.


Should you purchase this pass? My answer is a resounding NO!
