Under what circumstances can the United Airlines Employee Pass transfer to relatives?

Exact circumstances in which United Airlines employees can transfer their own passes to relatives are not publicly known. Employees should contact their United Airlines supervisors for clarification. Airlines offer their employees standby passes for eligible family members that are valid for any flight that has seats available.

United Airlines also provides its employees with buddy passes that can be given to friends. These passes typically have a small associated cost, while the employee passes for family members are generally free. Those traveling with employee, family member or buddy passes are prioritized last on the standby list and are seated after all other passengers have boarded.
