Since Southwest allows you to credit an unused ticket toward future flights has anyone bought a ticket and then tried to jumpseat if there are open seats to save money? Would this be considered taboo by the gate agents and more work for them or would they mind? I'm considering trying to jumpseat home X-mas eve if there are open seats. If I make it I'll buy a one-way ticket back but ask for the j/s if I can swing it. Sound like a viable plan? I want to have a ticket back so if I do get stuck I'll have an out for missing work, but I'm always looking to save cash if I can. Thanks for the advice.
