Pass the word to your friends at our reciprocal agreement airlines. Our updated International Jumpseat policies are as follows:
- International Jumpseat Listings will be made via ID90 (preferred) no later than 24 hours before scheduled departure. No exceptions.
- The International Jumpseater is entirely responsible to have in their possession the proper visas and/or vaccinations required by the country of entry, as a normal passenger would.
- The Jumpseater’s passport must have at least one blank passport page and the passport must not be within six months of expiration.
- Jumpseating into or out of HKG and all of mainland China remains unavailable due to the complexity of their Covid restrictions.
Our captains are NOT responsible for checking jumpseaters’ required country-of-entry documentation, only their required jumpseat credentials and CASS. It must be said though, that a simple reminder to an OAL jumpseater that they are subject to the entry requirements of a regular passenger, and do not fall under any “Crew Exemption” status, would be recommended to not only facilitate a quick customs process upon entry, but also maintain the integrity of our international jumpseating program.
