Premium Bundle
Positive space pass travel is quite different from space available pass travel as any reservation blocks seats available for sale. The Premium pass is intended to provide you and your accompanied companion(s) with roundtrip ticket to the destination of your choice. The employee or spouse may accompany companions.
The Premium bundle will not be replenished on an annual basis, it is a one-time carryover of remaining POS passes.
The passes in the Premium bundle have no expiry dates and will remain in the employee's profile until used. Unused POS passes in the bundle will transition with the employee into their retirement.
If you happen to be gifted a POS pass throughout the year, it will be added to your Premium bundle.
With positive space travel, special conditions apply.
