Hello,
I am trying to visit Tokyo for 6 days. The problem is that getting there on Continental should not be a problem... But on the way back Continental, JAL, American, ANA, United are overbooked. I thought of maybe flying on some Cargo carriers but I don't now where to start looking. Does anyone have any experience with that? I appreciate any help. Thanks

UPS/FedEX won't take you. Try going to Polar/Atlas's website.

I emailed Polar Air for a jump seat question and email back telling me that they listed me on a flight from NRT to ORD ! Nice people! The only thing is that I don't know how to get to their ramp/terminal and who to check in before the flight? Anyone have any experience with theses procedures I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

Well, I fly for part 121 carrier and I am in the CASS system. I don't commute therefore my jumpseat knowledge is not that good. I have made a few trips using company travel benefits so I know that I need to have all my bases covered. In addition to Continental I also purchased ZED pass for JAL, American, United, and ANA. Looks like the flight loads are not in my favor for the trip back so I decided to use POLAR as backup... I have never jumpseated on cargo carrier and that is why I had a couple questions about it. Anyways, I got figured out now after maing a few phone calls... Not to my company because they have never really been helpful. Thanks

Who do you work for?

You've made a few posts that make me question your need for jumpseat information:confused:

If you are employed as a pilot for a part 121 carrier all the information you need can be obtain through your company.

I'm jealous... ;) Like Rascal, my company isn't all that forthcoming or knowledgeable regarding all the various international/long haul travel options.
