Avid traveller reveals how she flies for free

A woman flies across the USA for free saves "tonnes" - because her brother is a pilot.

Sophia Bamford, 22, started getting free flights in March 2024, when her brother Anthony Bamford, 23, put her on his standby list.

This means whenever her brother is flying a plane and it is not full - Sophia can take up one of the seats.

Since then, Sophia has flown nine times with her brother as a pilot - including to New York City, Orlando, Venice Beach, Colorado.

Sophia is planning to travel on her brother's flight to Canada and use her standby pass to go to Puerto Rico with a friend.
