When you fly on a buddy pass you travel standby. Using a pass during the holiday season is a total crapshoot – or, in airline parlance, “not recommended.”
But I when I decided to visit my daughter for the holidays, I believed the traditional wisdom about flying on Dec. 24.
“Folks will already be where they want to be,” I kept hearing. “Plenty of room on the planes on Christmas Eve.”
Apparently a whole lot of people missed that memo.
