News Summary

• "Non-revving" airline employees can fly almost anywhere at any time, but only if a seat is open.
• Most US airline employees pay little to nothing for flights out of the country on their own airline, while flights back usually add taxes and fees.
• Flights on other airlines — what we call "ZED" — can cost a few hundred dollars, depending on the cabin (economy or premium) and the carrier.
• You don't have a guaranteed seat on a flight; you only have a chance of getting one.
