Jumpseating on cargo carriers overseas
 

I'm in Lauderdale, and was wondering if any cargo companies go to Germany out of Miami that would take jumpseaters. My grandmom there is getting pretty ill and would like to go see her with the couple of days I have off.

Sky Lease and or Centurion fly out of Miami to Amsterdam occasionally. I sure would hate to be banking on an ACMI carrier to get me somewhere on any kind of tight schedule.

Your best bet is to see if Atlas has a MIA-DOV-HHN flight. That can do the job.

Kalitta goes CVG-LEJ 5 or 6 times a week.

We also go JFK to LEJ just about every sunday night

By "we" you mean that other airline that flies the classic right? haha..jk...a ride is a ride!

BTW, the CVG-LEJ flight is the last flight out of CVG, so you could easily hope a DHL flight into the hub and the hop on the Connie flight. Arrives LEJ in the evening.

good luck

Atlas out of HSV?

Yes, Luxembourg You can check the schedule from the Atlas website.

I don't think we can take off-line ACM on AMC/DOD missions...as Polar says, HSV-LUX and return are best bets...and on the -8 with the new-car smell and all that!!

Thanks guys for the info, I'll look into atlas or see if I can get a late flight out of FLL or MIA to Kennedy to take Connie over. I like the cargo guys, guess because I'm a hopeful freight hauler.

You mean you're giving up on the expat bar in South America? :D

OH....forgot to mention we probably do 2-4 flights per week out of EWR or JFK to LGG (Liege, Belgium) which is only a hop and a skip from Germany

That'll still happen when I'm flying freight and I can be home based :D

Thanks Herkdriver. I for sure like Connie, I've jumpseated with them to Liege when my dad was sitting in the right seat. Really appreciate the info.

What about coming back?
