A few non rev questions...
On NRTP, what's the difference between listing as coach or first class? Just my wife and I traveling. Do they throw you up in First if they've got the space?
Also, as D2 travelers, you still get charged the "mileage" from the trip that gets deducted from your paycheck, correct?

Never had an issue, but if you only list for Coach, then you are screwed if only First Class is only thing open, listing for a First will give you a seat anywhere on plane if open. Doesn't cost anymore. Also, we fly for free in either class, only thing you pay is taxes for international, so it doesn't matter what you lost as. Not sure how the guest passes work, if my friends can't afford the plane ticket, they prob don't need to go on the trip to begin with, ha.

That's pretty much what I was saying. I'm sure it doesn't hurt to ask these questions, especially if you've never done this stuff before.

You add your dependants on NRTP and list from there. Once you guys get in and get to use NRTP it will be more clear. But yes the short answer is you just click first class box and you will be upgraded automatically if there is a First seat open. It's harder on hub to hub flights but outstations are nice. You can also choose AC that has more first class seats available. I rode FC last two times I non revved. PHL has direct flights to many desirable International destinations as well. You will love the travel bennies.

Protip for non rev travel: set an alarm for 24 hours and 1 minute prior to your flights departure time, and when that alarm goes off sign in to NRTP and mash the check in button until it checks you in. #1 D2 on the list every time!

Sorry, didn't intend for that to come off as smart…deft ask all you want, will try to help as much as possible. I'm a commuter and a frequent traveler for fun as well. American travel benifits are great!

We also get two positive seat tickets to anyone on property Before July 2017 to anywhere American flies.
And you get 6 D1 priority per year which is highest priority. So even if you check in late you go above all D2's. And if you travel with your parents (D2P) they automatically get bumped to D2 priority.

To add to the above, I learned recently that if you are D1, that does nothing for the parental units, so if you are traveling with them, stay D2, otherwise they won't move up in priority and make reservation under one PNR!
