International Jumpseating
ABX Air (formerly Airborne Express) plans to open a 767 domicile in Osaka, Japan. I am thinking of bidding it for the upgrade, but only if I could commute back to the US (2 weeks on / 2 weeks off). Could those of you that have first hand knowledge please provide any information on your airline's policies regarding international jumpseats, specifically Japan. Do you take more than one rider? Do you need a seat in the back? Do you normally offer business class or coach to riders? Are those seats in great demand? How far in advance can you book? Etc. Any info would be appreciated.

All offline jumpseaters must have a seat in the cabin and CASS has absolutely nothing to do with international jumpseating so it makes no difference if you are CASS or not. Doubt you will have many problems on the 4 big ones flying into Japan, assuming you have a recip agreement with them.

Also, is the left seat worth lots of extra dough? If so, if you really have to, the coach ticket from Detroit to Osaka and two weeks later back to Detroit will cost you $1009.20 ($1056.71 Total Price) according to their website. I'm just saying it might be an option if everything else fails. Good luck.

So the flight was full, correct? I've jumpseated several times to Europe on Delta (riding in the back). All I had to pay was the international jumpseat tax (total ~$25 both ways)
