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 haven't flown on UPS or FDX post 9/11. Are legacy guys no longer allowed to ride on FDX?

Try your company pass travel department or jumpseat chairman.

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.

Must be in the CAAS system. However no J/S are allowed on int'l flights except our own people.------------------

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


It's all good :) you can never be to careful these days!!

Hey flaps 9:

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

Sorry to hear that:(

When I was at Trans States I served on the Jumpseat comitte and was able to access lots of good information. If you work at an ALPA carrier you might try volunteering to work with the Jumpseat group. It will provide you with tons of valuable information and you might make a few contacts at other carriers that can help you advance in your career.

Good luck.

If your airline is CASS then go to our website. We have schedules to and from Narita. If you're not CASS then you would be wasting your time. It takes a couple of days to get things approved so don't wait until the last minute to get things taken care of if you so desire.
