Trying to take a friend to Bangkok in march, travel net will not show a fare for the NRT to BKK leg. Can u not go international to another international city on a buddy. I can get my fare, But no buddy pass. I'm ASA .

I'm DL. I went to Travelnet and had the same results. I also tried NRT-HKG on different dates. No buddy pass info.

I can only suggest you livechat with someone at Travelnet. Best of luck.

I wouldn't give my worst enemy a buddy pass, especially to travel halfway around the world. I did that with a friend back in 2004 just to go to Europe, and the constant stress about the loads pretty much dominated the entire trip.

What is this "Buddy Pass" you speak of?

It's a surefire tool to ensure the person you bestow it upon never speaks to you again. It's pretty awesome.

no buddy pass on "offline" code share flights. I'm guessing the NRT-BKK leg is on some other airline and not Delta.

buddy passes actually work very well on international flights as long as they are flexible on travel and you do some in depth research on the bookings to find the "best" days for them to travel.

3/15 NRT/BKK is a DL 330. No buddy pass info available.

could the flight be one of the embargoed flights?

I issuesd 2 buddy passes last spring from ATL-LAX-NRT-SIN and back so it should not be an issue as long as its on a DL aircraft. If its a code share flight, it will not allow this to be ticketed. Reissuing this becomes difficult due to the tariffs between countries, so DL res will have to reissue for change in itinerary. My guess is that its embargoed......

+1. That and the fact that the buddy in question then expects you to give his buddy a buddy pass as well.

Most likely is...

3/11 & 3/18 & 3/25 are embargo dates.
It appears you can't even price LAX-BKK which operates on the same flight number with a stop in NRT (on the id90 site).
Have you tried to actually ticket it, maybe that will work.
If not, call the travelnet dept.

Thanks guys, it is a delta flight.. $811.00 dollars according to the delta agent. No exsplaination why it will not show up.

Then don't! I'm sure he, or we, don't really give a da*n

Seeing as the original poster is traveling with his friend I'll give a pass on the negative info about '"buddy passes''. However I have found in most cases a little research with find a real ticket for near the same price. Good luck.
