Everyon considers my family to be lucky when it comes to traveling. My husband and I are both in the travel industry so we get a lot of benefits when we travel. I work as a travel agent so we get discounted hotels and car rentals and my husband works for Delta so we get to fly all over the world for free. We take advantage of this and we travel about every other month some where. My husband is from Peru so we get to fly to Peru at least 2-3 times a year to visit family. I also been to Italy several times with my daughter because my brother is in the Navy and he was stationed in Naples for about 7 years so I traveled at least once a year if not twice a year. Working for Delta and flying free has it advantages but it also has some disadvantages. It is good in the way that we can fly free and pay minimal taxes but it is strictly standby so if the flight is full, we do not get to fly. It doesn't happen often but usually this is more likely to happen when we go to a city which only has 1 flight a day non-stop to Atlanta in which if we do not make it, we need to overnight in that city. When we fly to Peru, we never have trouble flying over but on the way back, Delta brings a lot of cargo back which limits the number of non revenue passengers that they will clear for the flight.We have been stuck a few times in different cities but it definitely helps us to be able to travel a lot with our 2 kids and to see the different cities. We try to be smart when we fly by checking the flights on a daily basis and trying a flight that looks the best even if it really isn't the flight that we want to take. My husband also gets buddy passes every year for our family and friends so they can fly for a reduced price. This is also standby but it still helps out our family that cannot afford to travel alot.
