Thanks Cubdrick.
After working 4 years for DAL, my mom decided she wants to fly somewhere. SNAFU.

Stupid question ...
My parents get S2 and S3 passes. They are "activated" in TravelNet. They do not have DAL badges or IDs. What is the process for them to NON-REV?
Do I list them for the flight. Then they go to a kiosk/DAL counter and check in using a normal ID?
Thanks ...

My parents rarely use the travel benefit. If they don't get on a flight, they act as if their world imploded. They are typical of people who don't travel by air regularly, as soon as they get to the airport, they lose their minds, can't read signs, are overwhelmed by the crowds, etc.
Long and short, if you are going to list your parents for a flight, make it one they will likely get on and have a good experience with. The unending whining if they don't is just not worth hearing if they have a semi-bad experience.

*She can select a boarding priority upon check-in on line as well.
I do not think that parents get S-2 if you have a wife or dependent children so be careful in giving that advice. They travel S-3B alone or on your priority when traveling with you.

My parents are the exact opposite. I tell them the 0700 flight is wide open. "Too early, we will go on the 1030 flight" says Mom. Not looking good says I.
They end up getting first class. Thinking about that must explain my non-reving luck. Its easy to see who got all the non-rev "Karma" in the family.

Do what I do, buy them the Fly Confirmed for Less tickets at a discount. My parents love it and travel all over the world.

Thanks for all the medical plan help. Still not sure what is best but leaning towards Gold HRA.
As far as parents, mine have traveled all over. They loved the S2s since I was single for a while, but they have adapted to the S3Bs. The real tricky stuff comes when they've flown on ID90s, that can be a nightmare. They got caught in Panama City, Panama for 3 days trying to get out on COPA, but finally did. All depends on the parents, but mine are used to traveling and going with the flow.
