Default Jumpseating on FedEx - long haul

So I'm looking at jumpseating on an 8+ hour flight. Couple of questions...

1)Do I bring food or will there be food on board?
2)Should I bring a change of clothes for the long flight?


Thanks.

The caterers should put something on for you. You may even be able to order something but I'm not sure how a non FedEx crew does it, sorry. Secondly, yes, bring something comfortable to wear.

You can't jump seat internationally on Fedex or UPS. But I think you can on Atlas and some of the other cargo carriers.

If youre going to Hawaii, thats ok for offliners and thats 8 hours or so. And most definitely bring PJs.

As for food, you can ask when you list, but most definitely I would bring some scooby snax just in case...
