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.
Fair enough, thanks.
I asked the employee, and was surprised to find buddy pass fares were lower, but not significantly lower, than comparable fares on this domestic route. I'll probably continue booking positive space.
