If you want to Nonrev this summer because you got a great Interline Deal, I have some Bad news for you, Cargo. It seems the Airlines are getting more cargo to supplement the light loads and that can ruin your nonrev travel plans.
Interline Travel has not yet gotten world on the influx of cargo on passenger aircraft because no one has told them and they believe this will be a great summer to non-rev. Unfortunately the hardest flights that will be hit is non rev international travel. These flights are carrying the most cargo.
But if you are lucky, it will just be a weight and balance issue meaning you will have to ride in coach. So if you are boarding and are going to the back of the airplane and see open seats up front, don’t push them too hard about an upgrade or you will be kissing your non rev discount goodbye.
So if you are going to try those non-rev travel passes, try to find out if the flight will have a cargo issue. This will also be helpful in finding your chance of getting business class.
If you get stuck and need information on how to get out of a city, try the Nonrev Timetable.
