We Flew Standby to Save Money After Our Alaska Cruise
We flew standby home from our Alaska cruise to save money, but getting a seat wasn't guaranteed! After disembarking in Vancouver, we had to figure out how we were actually getting home. I cruise around 142 nights a year, and since we don't live near a cruise port, airfare can add up quickly. One way we keep those travel costs down is by flying standby. The savings can be significant, but there's a catch: we don't have confirmed seats. We have access to non-revenue standby flights through airline employee travel benefits, which helps us keep our travel costs down. This time, Chicago was out, Denver wasn't looking any better, and we were checking our options as the day unfolded. Come along for a behind-the-scenes look at what flying standby is really like, including the waiting, changing plans, airport snacks, and a little passenger-princess humor. 😂 Would you take the chance on standby flights to save money, or would you rather pay more for a confirmed seat? 🧳 Things That Earned a Spot in My Carry-On My LEVEL8 Adventure Carry-On: https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101816030-15212828?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.level8cases.com%2Fproducts%2Fadventure-carry-on-20%3Fvariant%3D46573106200799 My LEVEL8 Urban Backpack: https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-101816030-15212828?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.level8cases.com%2Fproducts%2Flevel8-urban-backpack%3Fvariant%3D9059450912991 Use code barelypacked10 for 10% off LEVEL8. 👕 Shop barely packed Travel-inspired apparel made for the journeys you take and the ones you're dreaming about. https://barelypacked.com 💙 Join UNPACKED Go behind the scenes of our travels with more personal stories, experiences, and moments that don't always make it into our regular videos.
