- Places & Travel
Non-Rev is a form of travel where you fly standby, only paying taxes or flying for free. Today’s episode is jam-packed with all you need to know to successfully travel Non-Rev, both domestically and internationally, with the golden rule in mind: always have plans A through F already figured out. We discuss the best time to travel and the benefit of having a few different routes planned out, before dispelling the rumor that Non-Rev is 100 percent free. Next, we share two useful digital tools for flying Non-Rev, and tell you why we are team carry-on, as well as why a roll-aboard suitcase might actually be a superior choice to a backpack. The better you get at planning, the more spontaneous you can actually be. We discuss why this is true, why the gate agents are your friends, and why you should be kind to them! We hope you join us today.
