I was told (second hand) that UAL will upgrade non rev's but they charge something like $50? Delta will upgrade you for free if there is a seat. I've had the same experience on my travels with Cathay Pacific and they've upgraded me when there was a seat available (I bought a ZED fare).
To dovetail into the above question, does the original poster work for DC or somewhere else? is the procedure for the above any different if you don't work for a Delta Connection Carrier? I've never been international on DL before (when not with DCI).
Thanks.

Trying to jumpseat international for the first time from SEA to HKG on Flight 281 on Monday. Any special procedures that one must take. I viewed the seats charts on the public website and looks wide open. Any insights or suggestions like when to arrive, airport taxes, number to list or email the Capt etc would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Don't get me wrong, when riding the "jumpseat" I/we are all always very happy for any seat! But, let's not kid ourselves it really is nice when you have a bit of extra room on the long flights.
BTW. Sorry to hijack the thread. Delta has always been great with that. Just not going to where I need to go
