Interim Flying on CO

My husband just took a trip to SEA and UA was full, so I decided to try CO. I found the process a lot like ours, but when listing, they give much more info. This is an example:

Departs: SEA 11:57a Arrives: IAH 6:05p	Travel Time: 4 h 8 m		Meal: L/F		Upgradeable Standby: 4
	20DEC10	Stops: 0	Equipment: 738		Flight No: CO1766		View Pass Rider List
	SEA-IAH	Avail.	Capacity	Auth.	Booked	RSB	Held	PS	SA	Group
	First/Coach:	0/3	16/144	16/144	16/141	0/0	0/0	0/0	0/3	0/0
	Totals:	3	160	160	157	0	0	0	3	0

Departs: IAH 9:10p Arrives: AUS 10:05p	Travel Time: 0 h 55 m		Meal: None/None		Upgradeable Standby: 9
	20DEC10	Stops: 0	Equipment: 739		Flight No: CO1533		View Pass Rider List
	IAH-AUS	Avail.	Capacity	Auth.	Booked	RSB	Held	PS	SA	Group
	First/Coach:	6/34	20/153	20/157	14/119	0/0	0/0	0/0	0/8	0/0
	Totals:	40	173	177	133	0	0	0	8	0

Make sure you click on to see this expanded view, and if you click on View Pass Rider List, it will show your number/name on the list. Like UA, you can print up your security pass 24 hrs. in advance. I think the Upgradeable standby means revenue psgrs eligible to upgrade. He had a good trip, but took Southwest back. UA and CO were both full. By the way, retirees can call Benefits and request ID letters that are good for a year on Southwest. They will send you about 5, but it takes a couple of weeks to get them. Happy Travels and Merry Christmas!
