The sailboat I race on is participating in the Pacific Cup race from San Francisco to Hawaii this year. Race crew sails over, then flies back. Meanwhile, the delivery crew flies over and sails the boat back to San Francisco. Used to be, in the days before they checked IDs, you could buy a roundtrip ticket and the delivery crew used the first part and the race crew used the second part.
Now I'm expecting everyone will need round-trip tix and throw away one part - unless the $75 change fee can be applied to change a name on a ticket and two people could use the one round-trip ticket. Anyone ever been successful at doing that?
