Understanding How the United Buddy Pass Works

The United buddy pass is a benefit that grants family and friends of United employees discounted flights on a standby basis. Only after paying passengers have been accommodated can pass holders board if there are still seats available. In order to use a Buddy Pass, passengers must wait for seat confirmation around departure time after being placed on a standby list. Despite being reasonably priced, Buddy Pass travel is not always reliable. The standby nature of this travel benefit necessitates flexible timetables, payment of accompanying fees, and adherence to a dress code, which makes it the perfect choice for budget-conscious, flexible travelers.
