Options are
Thursday night- Oct 13th. It would have to be the last flight, nonstop at 7:40
or Friday morning Oct 14th, 7:55 am is the earliest now and is nonstop.
Of course the Friday has more options if he can't get on the flight I am on..

The return is Sunday.
6:30 AM Nonstop
7:55 AM Nonstop
11:25 AM Nonstop
11:55 AM 4:40 PM 501/866 1 stop Change Planes BWI
4:35 PM Nonstop
6:25 PM Nonstop
Being on a tight budget, I'd rather to the 6:30 or 4:35 because they are cheaper. and I'd also rather the 4:35 because I don't like early mornings, and I want to make the most out of my overpriced weekend. (Which is why Thursday night would also be ideal, but understood, that's the last flight, and he may not get on)
I'm not as worried if we are on the same flight on sunday. I could bring him to an earlier flight than I take just to ensure he'll be home in case he's working then.
Thanks for the advice in advance
Wouldn't it be quicker and easier to ask the person that gave you the buddy pass instead?
