Is Buddy Pass worth it?

These passes can be a great way to save money on airfare, but they often come with limitations. For example, buddy pass holders have to fly standby, meaning they only get a seat if there are extra seats available on the flight. Additionally, buddy pass holders cannot choose their seat or upgrade.
