The Teterboro - Dulles Shuttle deal looks like a great way to try it out. 7:45 am to 5:45 pm, and worst case if you can't get on the return and there's no avios availability it's not too far to grab a cheap bus. Hopefully going to be giving it a go soon.  ;D

Did you switch the toggle in frequent locations, to alert on all destinations from frequent locations?
I did for the locations near home

When booking a jet deal, do I need to fly as well or can I book for 2 other people?
At the time of booking to I need to provide info on the other passenger(s), and if yes what should that be?

You would need to fly and can bring along 1 person.

After you book, you will receive an email asking for passenger info.

Here at Dansdeals, we don't do busses.

One day when I can actually afford to fly private I won't have to take a bus home. But for now, when I have a chance to fly it for free, I'll do whatever I have to do in order to take advantage of it.

Obviously the bus is the last choice if I can't get on a flight using points.

I did that 2 years ago over New Years weekend. Flew private to YQB and no points availability for the way back with high holiday prices. Took heimans back from YUL.

Haha.

To borrow a phrase to make one last point in my defense, the last name of this website is deals, and if sitting on a bus for three hours helps me get a free ride on a private jet, that's a good deal in my mind. It's not as bad as getting off Cathay First and heading straight to a hostel..

I'd rather save my money on a day trip to DC so I don't need to stay in a hostel when I get off of Cathay First.
