All of the following non traditional options have direct flights to DFW though: Cathay Pacific, Korean Airlines, Cargolux Airlines International, Atlas Air, Nippon Cargo or EVA Air. If some or any of these are commuting possibilities for me then my commute suddenly becomes ALOT easier. Trouble is, none of the above are listed on ALPA Jumpseat Guide from what I can tell and I don't know if I can or how to list with them.
So...are any of these players, and if so, how do I list with them...at the gate and one hour before?
Any help is greatly appreciated, and as always, thanks in advance!
You aren't going to be able to jumpseat on CV, CX, KE, etc. They are not Us carriers and therefore don't have CASS, nor is their any jumpseat reciprocity. Welcome to the commuting life, it's time to learn to be creative. Don't always go for non-stop flights. Connect if you have to in the network. I know a lot of DFW to LGA commuters will connect in places like BNA, ORF, or PIT. You'll figure it out.
