Travel Bennies
 
This hasn’t been brought up clearly with recruiters. How’s the travel benefits for XJT? Is it just on UA, if so how high up the list are you?

You are on the bottom of the list on mainline flights. Even retirees have higher priority. On our own metal, we have higher priority than mainline unless they use vacation passes at the last minute to bump you off. UAL pilots are working hard to have priority on jumpseats for all express carriers.

I’m pretty sure they gave up on this.

You won’t really have a clear understanding of travel benefits until you start using them. It’s kinda complex irrespective of the airline. Suffice to say it’s only United and you only get priority over mainline employees on Expressjet aircraft.


Edit: I must give United props for hooking up the travel benefits website to their normal United app that everyone uses.... it makes it all so much easier.

There are also Zed travel benefits which begin 6 months after DOH. This includes standby travel on Delta, American, JetBlue, Southwest, Hawaiian, Scandinavian, Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, Cathay Pacific, Iberia, and quite a few more. Hopefully these get expanded, but who knows.

How does that work? So you can list right from the app? The same app you use your mileage plus member ID to login?

Which family members also get ZED benefits? Thanks

I believe it’s everyone on your flight benefits (parents, children, spouse), except the enrolled friend(s).

However, sometimes your family members must be travelling with the employee when using a zed fare. It depends from airline to airline.

Found this on google. (Just saying so someone doesn’t think I’m posting a secret.) I’ve been using it for over a year to show people how to link.
