Flight Loads

The all important flight loads. Here, I have some resources for getting an idea of what the flights look like and your position on the standby list online, using the airline’s App and at the airport itself.

Accommodations

You’ve mentioned in the surveys that booking a hotel is challenging and I totally agree with you. The Accommodations page provides a few resources to help you book that perfect room, even at the last minute.

I recommend getting a credit card for that particular hotel as well as signing up for their loyalty program. Don’t leave any points on the table.

Travel Insurance

We travel quite a bit as passriders and most don’t really think about travel insurance. For your next trip, why not consider taking out some sort of travel insurance? The company I use, Trawick International, have an annual program you can consider if you travel quite a bit as I do.

Tours

I love to just wander when I visit a destination, however, there’s really nothing like taking a tour from a reputable person with an amazing Guide. There are also some really good “Free” Tours in select cities. I put “Free” in quotes as its customary you give the Guide a tip at the end. The term “Free” is used as its not a set price for the tour.

I’ve used Walks in Italy on a recent trip as they are a partner and I throughly enjoyed their tours. Thus I highly recommend them.

Flight Bookings

Although flying space available and making the most of your Pass benefits is fun, sometimes your airline does not fly to a location or you have no agreements with the airline that does or you just want to get there without any drama.

If its something like a wedding or special occasion, and you have to be there, purchasing a confirmed ticket is the way to go. Or if your airline has no partner benefits, or select family member benefits, a paid ticket is the next best things.

I’ve found that you can oftentimes find great fares just by doing a little legwork. I recommend an online booking site called Momondo.com.
