THE ART OF NON
REVVING IS TO
PLAN, PLAN, PLAN
AGAIN….
THEN HAVE NO
PLANS

Flights: Google Matrix

Shows Multiple Options & Prices

Look At: Routings
Airlines
Flights (Number of Flights per day)
Days
Alternate Cities
Holidays, school breaks, or peak periods?
(Connection/Destination/Origin)
PICK WHICHEVER OFFERS YOU
MULTIPLE OPTIONS
6
7
1. Sometimes the price is too good to pass up, buy a confirmed ticket
2. List on Multiple Airlines in sequence…can get a refund if you don’t fly
3. Back Up Plan(s) – different cities etc 4. Pick the Earliest flight of the day – no
shows are higher 5. Pick an airline that doesn’t overbook 6. Find a friend at that airline to check loads 7. Research far out, book up close
8
1. Check the loads: Week or less is good for international, Domestic, 2-3 days. (Online purchase up to point of seat selection, choose max tix)
2. If the loads look ugly the day before consider buying a ticket on a different airline that has a 24 hour cancellation, cancel if you get on. 3. Find a friend at that airline who has access to their
loads. 4. Call the reservations line at the airline, they are
often helpful 5. Read the Interline Agreement: Dress codes, rules
about getting boarding passes, avoid surprises and know the benefits

Access at Marriott.com, Sign Up for Rewards Program (free wi-fi)
Search first without a code, then compare AAA and TVL codes for
Hotels and Offers. You can earn reward points on TVL code.
Need your Employee ID.
Code AL
SPREE code (Join Karma Rewards program, can’t earn points with
this code but can get free wi-fi and wine and all that fun stuff)
10
Check Cancellation Policies very carefully
Consider booking your hotel for the day after you
arrive (Allow time to cancel if you don’t get on and find a hotel
on Hotel Tonight et al for the first night if you do if your hotel
can’t accommodate you)
Hotels can be flexible (Sometimes hotels allow you to
shift your reservation ahead one day without penalty…this gives
you options.)
Check for rates (Even if they are not a chain they may have
a travel industry rate…call and ask)
11
More DRIVE and more discounts!
12
13
Everyone Loves Treats:
(consider bringing little gifts for
gate agents & Flight Attendants)
Introduce yourself to the
Gate Agent: ask them how it’s
looking, let them know if you have
kids etc… BUT DON’T HOVER
OR NAG
Wait until the very end (Don’t
give up until the door is closed)
Travel with Carry-on if you can
– (easier if you get on last minute)
Dress appropriately – (check
dress code, could be different than
NK and if there is a seat in business
or first class you need to look as
though you belong there)
14
15
• Get somewhere closer to home or to a
Spirit City where you have more visibility
into options
• Creative Routing…
• Car, Train, Bus….
• Ask for distressed passenger rates…you
can get them domestically

LEISURE TRAVEL TIPS

If there is a crew hotel, mention that you work for NK possible discount!
Not a Crew hotel- no problem! Give them a call and ask if they have a interline rate for industry employees. You might just get lucky!
Traveling on the early morning flights on Space Available is ALWAYS recommended.
Don’t forget to have a plan B. Make sure to research alternative flights on NK or OA! Remember Google Flights!
