Pilot Travel Benefits

Danny,

Nine people is going to make it rather hard, but not impossible. Back in March I flew standby to LAX and back with my family of six, we got on the flights I intended to. Now come Christmas time or summer, that is not happening.

Danny,

I’m going to disagree with Chris on this one. I literally can’t imagine attempting to pass travel with 9 people. One is stressful enough and every body you add increases the stress dramatically. Most I ever had to do was 5 and it took years off my life. Never tried it again.

Noted, sounds like something i might try once when I’m feeling particularly ambitious and see how it turns out. Thanks for the responses!

Danny,

The time of year and the days of the week can make a big impact on your success. If you’re trying to go to Hawaii on a Friday in late May you’re probably going to be disappointed. But if it’s a random destination in the middle of the week in the fall or spring while school is in session, you might have a chance if the flight is wide open!
