A Non-Rev. Question...

Anyway, can someone explain what an ID-95 is? I have heard the time used, and have probably used tickets that were of that type before, but do not understand what they are or how they are used.

ID-95 is a term for buying a non-rev ticket on an airline that you do not work for...it is Industry Discount ticket with 95% off the full fare Y ticket...there is also ID-90, ID-96, ID-75 and ID-50...those are some of the more common Industry Discount ticket rates and the number is the percentage discount off the full fare Y ticket...the discount is negotiated between the two airlines and is part of their interline agreement...

Yes, these days, it is becomg quite inconvenient to travel on Stand-by or Non-Rev passes. I know that it is almost impossible on certain routes, and it is there that you see these very weird routes developing as mainstays with Non-revs. For example, while the non-stop flights from MIA-POS are soo very convenient, the other day, I looked at the loads and the chances of me getting onto a flight with anything less than a A9 pass was so very slim that I had to do MIA-SJU-POS which was trip from hell. Don't get me wrong, the trip was ok, but I will seriously avoid flying Internationally into SJU ever again.

Eh, I have yet to have a problem, but then again I have the jumpseat card at my disposal. God I love non reving though.

I couldn't even get from DAL to AMA on Southwest last Saturday as a non-rev!
