ZED= Zonal Employee Discount and is a discount based on the number of zone miles you wish to travel and the lowest full Y fare at the time. The zones might not be right but you will get the idea. 0-499= zone 1 500-999= zone 2 1000-1499= zone 3 and so on.... the price is based on which zone you travel in.

But you are standby, so paying passengers always go before you, and before the flight leaves, if there is still an empty seat, you get it.
Thanks crewdawg, hopefully I am eligible.
flyinaway, I assume you have been with your airline for more then 3 or 6 months?
I wonder if that is just a guideline that is there, but nobody pays much attention to it?
Does anybody have any experiences, or tried to go on an international airlines as a new-hire?
The amount you pay, like I said before is based on the number of miles you fly and the lowest FULL Y fare at the time of puchase. Most carriers do have ZED fares, but some dont like Delta Airlines, but Comair might. Its all based on the Carrier not who they operate or fly for. You need to look up each carrier seperate for each segment you want to fly. I know for AA and MQ its a simple in RES just type N*TVLUA or N*TVLDL or N*TVLOH....you get it now N*TVL__ the airline code. Sorry its the only airline I have worked for, Im sure they is a way to look this stuff up with every carrier you will just have to find out how, but if you cant just stop by AA/MQ and ask if they have ZED's....you know the format now
