Hey, what are those things called Buddy Passes I heard someone talk about? Can I be someone’s new best friend?

I can't speak for other airlines, but at Southwest employees are issued 4 buddy passes per quarter... They're basically freebie tickets.. You can give them away to friends or family to fly free on Southwest.

It's also fun to try and trade these passes with friends who work with other airlines because different airlines serve different cities etc. (I've been actively seeking people on these forums who might want to trade with me).
