Also remember Delta requires jumpseaters to check in 75 minutes prior to departure for international flights! Although I am still not sure if this applies to flights from overseas back to the USA since nobody seems to know the answer. I learned the hard way about this one!

I looked up NWA and they are flying from Detroit to Osaka, Minneapolis to Nagoya (through Narita), and from Minneapolis to Narita (pretty long drive from Osaka I think). I’d say, try to contact NWA jumpseat coordinator and maybe he/she can give you some feedback?

Doesn't actually eliminate "all cargo carriers", just UPS/FedEx, maybe DHL, etc. Almost all the ACMI's will take a JS'er int'l. Only problem being, the schedules may be erratic or inconsistent compared to purple or brown.

How the ACMI's with no cockpit door can take a JS'er out of the country but the FX/UPS can't is beyond me.

The flight was open I had a whole row to myself. However I had to buy the ID-90 that was equal to just over 200 bucks round trip and included all the taxes and everything. I don't know if this was because I was asking the wrong person or not but that is what the ticket agent at ATL said.

When I do international jumpseat on them I show up at the gate at least three hours early to make sure all paperwork is in order and to talk to the right person (some gate agents have never had an international jumpseater). Also, they issue you a "ticket" which is for the jumpseat tax.

Well, one MINOR correction. Atlas will not take a JS'e to New Zealand. Has to do with a stipulation in their contract with AZ so it's not Atlas's fault.

I relation to your post above. Always a good idea to get there early (on BOTH ends) as well as grab some JS forms when leaving the US in case they have none where you are coming from. I know, probably not required anymore, but always a good idea to have them in case somebody on the other end decides to be a stickler about something.

No $hit but they do have the same mentality

Bumping an old thread; might possibly try to JS to CUN this weekend.

Anything I need to know about jumping back to the states?

TIA.

Make sure you pay your taxes and have your passport. Other than that show up at least two hours just to be sure.
