this country. See below article.

This August Barb and I will celebrate our 50th
Anniversary with some family and friends, but before that date we hope to do a
little non-revving to Europe. I gotta
tell ya, that international is much much more predictable with the non-rev
competition you will be facing, however there is a new bane to every
non-rev. As always it is the “HK’s” that
has me worried. It seems that Delta is
inconveniencing people by the gazillions and handing out HK passes like
candy. The serious problem for any Non-Rev
stby traveler is that we have no idea how many HK’s are planning to fly on the
desired flight nor how many will walk up at the last minute. It is truly a crap shoot. So we still plan on trying it and I will let
you know how it goes. Domestic non-revving
with HK’s, weather, ATC and flight cancellations, doesn’t really interest me
much at the present time.

“GET ME THERE” (New NonRev TravelNet Tool)
New 'Get Me There' feature shows additional routes for
nonrev travel
Published Date 5/26/2022 3:30 PM
Inspired by your feedback, we're excited to introduce the latest
innovation for pass travelers. "Get Me There" is a new Travelnet search tool showing all routes between a selected origin
and destination within 16 hours and sorts them by seat availability. For more
flexibility, you can select the 'Nearby Airports' option for your origin or
destination to search flights between all airports within a 50-mile radius of
your desired location.
Whether you'd like to improve your chances for an elusive open
Delta One seat or are nonreving with your pass riders, "Get Me There"
can help find lesser known (and less crowded) routes to your favorite
destination.
HOW TO
USE "GET ME THERE"
- Specify an origin and destination city
and select Both, From or To under "Nearby Options" to expand
your search to other airports within 50 miles of your selected airports.
This option can include flights outside of your usual cities. For example,
if your favorite FLL-LAX route is full, "Nearby Options" will
show you available seats on flights between MIA-SNA.
- Domestic flights will display
connection times of 4 hours or less and international flights will display
connection times of 12 hours or less. Both display a minimum connection
time of 45 minutes.
- Results are sorted by total seat
availability, first with nonstops then with connections. When total number
of seats are equal, flights will be prioritized by seats available on the
connection flight to reduce risk of not making it to your final
destination.
- Be mindful of summer flight loads
and how they will impact nonrev seat availability. Be aware of alternate
flights to avoid getting stuck or consider purchasing a confirmed seat
through Fly Confirmed for Less.
We know your travel privileges are important to you, and we look
forward to sharing more additions to the nonrev travel experience based on
employee feedback in the coming months. Your input has driven the development
of previous features including mobile check-in for nonrev travel, Go Anywhere and Fly Confirmed for Less.
"This feature is a direct result of feedback from employees
on ways we can make travel privileges even more valuable and
user-friendly," said Greg Tahvonen, V.P. of Global HR Service
Delivery. "We
are thrilled that it will be available for employees as we all navigate the
busiest travel season."
As we begin a very busy summer season, take a moment to refresh
yourself on pass rider rules and "jettiquete":
1. Pack your manners: Remember to be kind to your colleagues and other passengers when
traveling. Be patient, be respectful and never list yourself for more than one
flight at a time. Be sure to remove yourself from a listing as well if your
plans change. Take some time to remind yourself of what to expect when you're pass riding.
2. Remember your flight benefits can't be used for personal profit or business: Pass travel is intended for leisure or personal
travel, unless you are traveling on
Delta company business. You
as the employee are responsible for the actions of your pass riders while
traveling, and should only provide Buddy Passes to people you know.
3. Fly Confirmed For Less: There are no change or cancellation fees on any tickets
purchased through Fly Confirmed for Less Discount
Programs . Don't
forget: this also includes the removal of the change/cancellation fee for
Employee Award Travel positive space passes.

*This new search tool is available on the desktop and
mobile-browser version of TravelNet.
