While I understand the intent not to hassle, the most accurate information you are going to receive is from the employee and fail to see why so many people come to FT without directly asking the person allowing them to use the pass.

For instance someone on here could say $85.00 by looking at ABCXYZ; however there are considerations for imputed income (taxes the employee will pay for your use of the ticket, different service fees (mainline/express), etc.

My advice, and I'm sorry if I seem blunt...ask the employee. It is careless on their part to allow someone to use their pass benefits without ensuring that they give full disclosure on cost, restrictions, attire, etc.
