·       Maximum number of UMNRs per flight:No more than six UMNRs will be booked per flight during regular operations

·       Onboarding seating change from best practice to policy: Aisle seat in the last three rows of the aircraft

·       Fee structure changes: $150 service fee for every two UMNRs on the same PNR per direction of flight

·       UMNR itineraries requiring flight connection will not be accepted.

Flight Attendants are encouraged to continue to apply the concepts of Communicate, Accommodate, Remind and Escort, or C.A.R.E., anytime a UMNR has been entrusted to your care. Always follow proper procedures for securing and handing off UMNRs to other custodial employees.
