jumpseating out of LHR back to the states...
I know we don't want to discuss jumpseating details on a public forum and hopefully my question isn't too detailed.
On DAL and UAL...
Do I have to prearrange it before leaving the US or can I arrange it at the airport?
Once again, if this is too specific a question, feel free to shut it down.
P.S - #*$! you very much American for having a recip. jumpseat agreement with us in which we take your guys to Columbia and Peru all the time but we can't ride international on your planes. I know.... Its not the pilots fault, but it #*?!ing irks me.

Show up at the ticket counter 2 hours before--I would list as well 24 hours out if you can. Can't remember how much but expect to pay a hugh fee for departure tax out of LHR. You will need to sit in the back--but usually we have a few seats open.
jETBLUE has been great so welcome aboard (UAL) and enjoy the ride.

AA has always been a problem. The jumpseaters that show up to our planes, always say:
"I'm gonna mention this to our JS APA rep" and move on, meanwhile they still get to ride with us. I agree, total bs from the APA, it is what it is.

Couple of suggestions for LHR: if you fly through make sure to keep the stub and tell the ticket agent. It saves you about $150. I always buy zed fares on foreign carriers. They are fully refundable.

Thanks for the info everyone. I'm not Jetblue, I am Spirit, but I do agree that Jetblue is always a huge help and very pleasant and welcoming.
Donotreset, I am not trying to ride in the physical jumpseat on AA, just a seat in the back. Oddly, our pilot js agreement with AA is domestic only for us ont heir aircraft, but is wide open for them on ours. I know of a few other carriers that have the same unfair agreement with AA and its puzzling.
Thanks for all the info guys! Please keep it coming. Trying to get out early tomorrow without having to beg an AMR buddy for a D3 pass.

The departure tax is a lot of money $$$$$. I agree with you on AA....are you jETBLUE?
