Default JetBlue ZEDs and travel benefits

I know JB is part of the ZED program, but I was wondering if someone could give me some more info? Can JB pilots list for business on other airlines via ZED or do you only have economy access? As a frequent commuter to Europe it's always nice to be able to get some sleep when travelling Trans Atlantic.

How are the JB travel benefits in general?

Not sure what additional information you need, you pretty much summed it up. As you said, JB has ZED agreements with most other national, and many international carriers. Of course on national carriers you can simply jumpseat and avoid the whole ZED fare entirely.

You'll get ZED low for travel on carriers that are JB codeshares or airlines we have some type of partnerships with (Virgin Atlantic, Aer Lingus, Hawaiian, etc.) ZED medium on just about everyone else (I haven't seen any ZED highs yet, but I'm sure they are out there, to lazy to log in and check the benefits page, sorry.

There is no such thing as listing for business when you buy a ZED fare, it is always coach. You get your business or first class seat through gestures of appreciation once you get on board. I do a lot of international travel, and I have yet to see a purser or F/A crew that couldn't be won over with a box of brownies or Krispy Kremes.

Beyond that, JB travel benefits are pretty much the same as most national airlines. Unlimited free national travel for you and your immediate family (spouse or partner, kids, and parents) , international travel requires payment of any applicable taxes. 12 buddy passes per year. Blah Blah Blah...

Hope this helps

Thanks for your help, much appreciated. My current airline has the option to purchase Business Class ZEDs on a couple of airlines, that's why I asked. Sounds like you have some decent benefits over there anyway. Thanks for taking the time to share the info.

We have C class ZEDs with United which you pay for a C class ZED and then list in C class.
We used to have Emirates but that's gone now.
Other then that it's all Y class.

What does a ZED ticket go for? I mean compared to regular fares? How cheap are we talking?

Depends on where your going, but they are much cheaper then an ID90. ZED "usually is a good deal".
Just off the top of my head I took Swiss from JFK-ZRH and I think it was about 90$ each way.

I just did DTW to Seoul and Seoul to Seattle. The total cost was under $300. 30$ in snacks for the crew got me first class on one leg of it. Not bad.
