✈️ Passrider Non-Rev Travel Tip of the Week

If the nonstop flights are full consider doing connections.

No point in waiting around for a nonstop flight, when the connections will work.

BUT. Ensure you’ve checked all the flights at the connecting city to ensure that loads are not rolling over and so by the time you arrive you’ll get bump.

Remember you can request flights loads for other airlines at https://flightloads.passrider.com.

My Asia, Caribbean and European Playbooks also has a ton of tips you can use.
