Default Re: family flight benefits

My mom has been without pass benefits since my parents got divorced. So she was pretty happy that I could hook her up. When you go through indoc in training you should be able to sign them up. Then depending on the airline you may have a 1-6 month wait before they can use their benefits. Some airlines offer absolutely free travel to your parents. Some require them to pay a nominal fee. I think my mom can hit Europe for about a hundred bucks roundtrip. The key to non-revenue flying is hitting the absolute first flight of the day (like 5 o'clock in the morning flights) and avoiding nasty hubs like Philly.
