Who killed non-rev shoulder season?

There's always myUAdiscount too, assuming other airlines have similar to UA. I make less than most of you for sure and even with child support and having to fly to Fresno, Minneapolis, and Cebu often (Jeddah before that), I'm almost flipping Star Alliance Gold lol. I mean SFO-FAT for example is usually $350-600 one way to keep those seats open for juicy connecting fares from EU, Asia, and other places. With myUAdiscount, its $128-160 usually. If a few days out its already over 75% full, I just buy a ticket. $175 usually MSP-SFO, so since I fly in then work a few hours later, I buy a ticket for protection in case it cancels or I need a reroute or OAL rebook. •, SFO-MNL is like $358 in economy and I did Polaris MNL-SFO like $1700 which is a STEAL when you won't get it standby.

At age 36, I'm 100% "shut up and take my money" over the nonrev game if its reasonable. Dunno why pilots are so cheap, I mean you got there, you're getting paper, buy your commute tickets home and chill out. I get upgraded over 50% of the time I buy a ticket now.

AS definitely does not have that. Just a flat discount I think 20% off the website price. I have heard about the UA discount program though, isn’t it really flexible with cancellation and changes too? Met a few guys at the old pad who used it all the time.

I bought tix for our family trip to MI and MN this summer. And avoided the airlines for everything except the trek to and from Alaska.

For the most part. If you purchase the non refundable tickets, you can get a full refund within 24 hours of purchase. After that you can still refund it, it just goes into your travel bank aka future credit so it’s not completely lost.

Yeah, I forget the details but I think guys were just putting that credit in and out of the travel bank and only using it if they absolutely needed to or something.

Other bummer of our CET program is that it only extends to your primary travelers. So I can't just buy tix with discount for multiple family members that are outside that small group. Oh well.

All you do is change it to a refundable ticket via upgrade right before you refund it.
