UPS/FedEx question
 

Was curious if UPS or FedEx has any space available travel benifits with any other airlines? Just curious, thanks.

Last I looked, FDX had a lot as they offered a discount to other airline employees. UPS has just a few (they don't even discount to us). There are deals on Southwest and Delta's international flights that I know of.

At FedEx you can buy space A tickets for SW for about 90 bucks a trip from corporate travel. Sometimes it is a good deal, most of the time if you can plan ahead of time you can almost match that and have an actual seat.

I've heard there are a couple of other deals but again, if you have the ability to plan ahead you can get a real ticket at better prices than the discount they offer.

I thought FedEX pretty much has ID90s with every airline in the free world.

Not true?

We very well might, I've only used the SW deal once and haven't ever tried to get the other ones because I'd heard they weren't worth it.

I'm sure somebody else will pipe in eventually who knows more about it.

Which a lot of times are not worth it for the space A seat compared to the guaranteed seat and cheap fare you can find on the interent with some advance planning.

I reason I asked is because I've worked at various airlines in my career and they all have discounts on FedEx.

I think between FedEx and UPS, seems to me like the FedEx guys have more bennies (I don't work for any of them, just a guess).

I have to ditto md11fr8dog here. You can find cheap seats online guaranteed.

We do have SWA tix and they're around $50 (?) per leg, space available.

My buddies not on furlough at legacy carriers complain that finding 4 seats anytime to get 2 adults and 2 kids ANYWHERE w/i the CONUS can be next to impossible. Personally, buying 1 tix and jumpseating myself (to WallyWorld for example) is enough trouble. The way I see it, unless I'm going class B to play golf, see a bud, girlfriend, etc...., I lay down the AMEX card for a fully refundable and changeable ticket.

Not true.......SWA is our best deal. Most others are ID75 which aren't worth squat. We used to have a good deal on TWA......but alas

Everytime I have gotten fare qoutes for our STBY interline tickets, I was able to beat it online with a guaranteed seat, plus I got the Frequent flyer miles.

Yes we give most of our Airline Bretheren the same Shipping discount on FedEx that we the employees get.

Well guys, I have to say I am VERY surprised!! I've always thought since our company gets FedEx discounts, that you guys get the same deal on us.

So I guess the UPS guys aren't really missing out on much as far as IDs go.

Ok now, let's start a debate on who has the better paint job!! just kiddin'
