Most legacies you don't have to list, just walk up to the gate and request a JS pass. SouthWest has a phone number, 18663597967. The coolest thing about it, you call and somebody ACTUALLY answers the phone, what a concept eh? Also, you are not talking to "floyd" somewhere in a foreign country.

If riding on Frontier, just call their reservation line, go through the phone tree. When the person answers, simply tell them you are an offline non rev and want to list for a flight. When they ask who you work for, just give them your company's 2 character code. Both SW and F9 are great to JS'ers. If you are riding on FedEx or UPS, you will have to call and get your information in their system, FedEx has a website, as does UPS, just follow the directions.

As far as riding on the ACMI carriers, go to their website.

Well, that's the great thing about having 3 (or more) guys riding in the front of the plane, isn't it? When somebody drops an air biscuit, nobody really knows who's guilty.
