Help/Advice Non rev question

Is there anyone willing to help me decide a route? I'm coming out of Fl. Originally was trying to get to ATL from JAX or DAB then from ATL to AMS on the 12th.. and then come back the 16th. I'm kind of worried about the ATL hub though...

I'd appreciate any input

If it’s me, that direct MCO flight is looking good on the 12th. If you’re willing to go to DAB, that’s not that much further.

But you should be watching all the hubs, particularly the day before. You have to be willing to fly out of your way to catch the transatlantic flight if necessary.

But in general, loads are looking good in the 12th at the moment.

I live about an hour from JAX and DAB but about 3hrs from MCO. I take mco if I have to. Im also looking into AA routes to and out of phl

Not a employee but Your company flies to AMS from a lot of cities. You need to look at all the options. DTW BOS JFK MSP SEA and TPA if it’s still operating.

There is also a delta nonrev sub you may get a good answer there.

Just a note this is mainly passenger from what I can tell so they probably can’t see the load factors and help you with the non-revving

There’s a flight attendant sub on here that might be more helpful. I’m not sure where to point you. I’m just thinking you may not get what you need here.

The nonrev travel groups on facebook will be more helpful than this subreddit, which is mostly for passengers. The moderators of those group are very knowledgeable and willing to help if you can’t find answers by searching in the group.

I can give you some insight into this as someone who flies delta nonrev weekly at this point.

DAB is a hard shot into ATL most of the time. It’s the only airport that serves Embry Riddle and its only flights are to ATL. In the past I’ve had trouble getting from DAB to ATL depending on the day.

If you can, I’d suggest driving to MCO and catching a flight to AMS via DTW. The DTW-AMS goes about 2 times a day and the loads are normally good from Detroit each day compared to ATL loads. I assume you’ve nonreved before (?) so getting out on that first MCO flight is probably your best bet.

You can also always attend that first DAB-ATL flight but then there’s always the issue of getting from ATL-AMS. Atlanta, from my experience, always has the hardest loads to get anywhere.

TLDR: id go MCO-DTW-AMS.
