If you know any friends in the airline, TALK TO THEM. A lot of people that work in the airline have friends or relatives with something called "buddy passes" which are basically super discounted plane tickets. Generally they get 8 of them per year. I'm talking 1/3rd of the price. 3 Japanese players for the price of 1, thanks to Buddy Passes. Smash could be so amazing with this at major events. Way more OOS players, and way more hype. If you guys know or find out about anybody with buddy passes (or an extreme excess of Frequent Flyer Miles that they don't need or want to sell) post it here.

I really honestly think this could keep smash alive very strong for a very long time to come. I want to play all of the Japanese and Europeans anyway.

What is the price of a buddy pass that people are willing to buy?

EDIT: The moderator should close this. Accidental double post thread in the same section. :(

I talked to a few Mexican players actually. I know we could definitely set up a fund for them to come, but they need to get their visas/passports soon. If so, maybe we could send them to Pound 5 or something.

I got connections to someone in Jet Blue but I can only request 1 buddy pass out of them every year or so. Plus ****ing Jet Blue doesn't even fly out of Detroit. Not gonna cut it for me or anyone else looking to fly cheap.
