A GA told me last week that she doesnt handle any $$ fees at the Gate, if you werent on the SBY list via a kiosk or agent check-in or CS center , then no way will you be getting onto the flight as a SBY, that is unless youre a non-rev that doesnt have to pay. seems some non-revs have to pay and they too would have had to have paid before they hit the gate as well
When we pay for flights it is withdrawn directly out of our paychecks. So for non-revs there is not an exchange of funds at the time of the flight, it comes out of our check the following month.
