Hey guys, I'm looking for a little help.... I have purchased full fare tickets as part of a travel package that has my family leaving Cancun at 7:30 tonight. There are flights leaving earlier with open seats that we would rather be on.... Anyone see a way around paying the standby ticket fee?? Nonrev charge would run me $270.00... Any help???? Thx!

Sched/PCS gurus....
Picked up my first WS today (noob here)... it fit the mold perfectly but it IS a Spill trip into Feb. Can scheduling add any flying onto a Spill trip if it's a WS? And if they do (which is what i DONT want), is there any GS pay associated with it?

You can always be rerouted, it's as likely to be a good deal as a bad deal. If you're extended enough, it will trigger premium pay. And if you're a lineholder in Feb and the reroute makes you illegal for your first trip, you are pay protected.

Now it's with the FA's, and they use our area as a trash dumpster. Or they take our sleeping setups. Even more convenient, they use the first class toilet as a table when they bring up crew meals. Yeah, our food sits on the crapper.

Welcome aboard! Yes, all spillover trips are subject to change. However, that change occurs when the following months bid packages are released on the 4th. Your trip will not change in Feb. FYI, if you had a trip change, you are guaranteed all pay for the current month, but any reduction to pay in the following month is not pay-protected. And any changes that add days/time are straight pay, not premium.

I think the only time you need to worry is if your spillover trip is changed when the next month's bid package is published, and that's already happened for Feb.

Once you hit reserve guarantee (not all ALVs equal reserve guarantees) you are no longer required to be on LC or SC for the rest of the month. You'll see FULL somewhere on your schedule. They will stop calling you..nothing needs to be done on your part.
You can still pick up time up to ALV + 15.

FWIW The only thing that I would add here is that the last time I reached Guarantee (with 4 days left in the bid period, all RSV), I still had to call CS to remind them that i was "FULL". May have been a fluke, or whatever the case had been, but they essentially said "Whoops, you're right... Marking you out FULL, have a good 4 days."
I'd say if full isn't on there after you finish the trip that gets you full, then a call to CS is probably wise.
That said, if they keep erroneously assigning trips to people who are full, then maybe they need to fall on that sword a few times to get them to fix their system.

We have stayed in VEGAS in Caesars for about $60. Total reward will always send you good deals for many Vegas Strip hotels.
