[QUOTE="FedexCares, post: 2018812, member: 50129"] As someone who just used interline in the past 6 months, I would strongly recommend you don't. I'm not sure if you have ever flown standby before, but the Airlines group standby passengers into three different categories. Flying interline you'll be in the third group which means there will be 5 to 10 people ahead of you on standby on every flight. If you get bumped and have to go to the next flight you will be back at the end of the line. Needless to say the only time I've ever spent the night at an airport was flying through interline. You won't even save much money either my ticket came to almost $250. If you do still decide to fly through interline there are a few tips I can give that I learned the hard way. Try to be traveling on Saturdays only. There are a lot less business travelers on Saturday so you have the best shot of actually getting on the flight. Book the earliest flight in the morning possible so if you do get bumped there are lots of other flight still going out that day that you can possibly make. Finally make sure you are doing a direct flight. Connecting flights just raise the odds that much higher that you will be bumped and screw up your vacation. If I was you I would just save yourself the headache and buy a normal ticket. [/QUOTE]
