How much do Delta employees pay for flights?

Free flights are an amazing benefit and probably the most important to most of us. I love working for Delta. It's a stable company, I feel they genuinely care about doing their best for both employees and passengers.



Delta Air Lines employees (and their eligible family members) are eligible for Non-Revenue Standby Travel (NRSA), which is essentially free for domestic flights. For international travel, employees typically only pay the mandatory government-imposed taxes and fees (such as departure taxes), which can range from $50 to $200 depending on the destination. While the flights are "free," they are strictly on a standby basis, meaning employees only get a seat if there is space left after all paying passengers have boarded. This benefit often includes access to First Class or Delta One if seats are available at the time of departure. Additionally, employees receive a set number of "Buddy Passes" each year to give to friends, which are discounted standby tickets that carry a slightly higher fee than the employee's own "free" travel.
