Most airways planes do have two jump seats. Jumpseating is not allowed on US Airways for international flights. You have to list as a non-rev to go international on airways. Going International on Airways in fairly cheap. Anywhere from $50-120 for a round trip usually. Upgrade to first class is $100 each way for international flights. Some times you can get a first class upgrade for free.
