International Jumpseat to and Inside Canada
I was hoping someone might be able to shed light on any special procedures for jumpseating on United from ORD to Vancouver, Canada. I'm trying for flight 687 on 1/1/12.
I saw in our Spirit FOM we have a jumpseat agreement with Air Canada. Has anyone used them? I'm planning to fly the redeye from Vancouver to Toronto on 1/4/12 then down to Orlando. If anyone can share their experience or knowledge, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Happy New Year!

Show up early at the gate for united, there's no way to list. The gate agent should be able to handle it. For Air Canada, you have to call the employee travel center 800-413-1113, and make a reciprocal jump seat reservation, costs around 50 bucks I think. Then check in at departures to get your boarding pass to go through security. You can't use the kiosks as your reservation gets processed adding FD(for flight deck) to your name. (Smith=FDSmith) That's about it. Gate agent might ask to see your ID and confirm with the crew that you're good to go, don't forget to say please and thank you, mind your P's and Q's and you might get yourself a seat in first.

Well first "Jump Seat" term in Canada will get you weird looks.. Have your agrement list out to show the agent.. I have never had to pay. But AC jazz you are required to have a paper ticket ( captains carry them.. At least they did last year) AC mainline was electronic. I mostly use West Jet and Horizon, Or my own airline. Good luck

When u r in canada, will need to go to the ticket counter to get processed out. normally will have to pay taxes, etc. I almost always go on NWA/DAL and have had basically no problems.
I recommend travelling in uniform for these trips, as customs/immigration are normally a lot easier and faster that way-always use the crew line whenever I can.
