Default Flying back from Japan - Merged

[ADMIN EDIT - please pick one forum to post in, they look pretty goofy when we merge them into a single thread forum]


Hello,
I am trying to visit Tokyo for 6 days. The problem is that getting there on Continental should not be a problem... But on the way back Continental, JAL, American, ANA, United are overbooked. I thought of maybe flying on some Cargo carriers but I don't now where to start looking. Does anyone have any experience with that? I appreciate any help. Thanks

Hello,
I noticed that I probably can't make it from Tokyo to NYC on regular carrier so emailed Polar Air for a jump seat question and email back telling me that they listed me on a flight from NRT to ORD ! Nice people! The only thing is that I don't know how to get to their ramp/terminal and who to check in before the flight? Anyone have any experience with theses procedures I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

You've made a few posts that make me question your need for jumpseat information

If you are employed as a pilot for a part 121 carrier all the information you need can be obtain through your company.
Well, I fly for part 121 carrier and I am in the CASS system. I don't commute therefore my jumpseat knowledge is not that good. I have made a few trips using company travel benefits so I know that I need to have all my bases covered. In addition to Continental I also purchased ZED pass for JAL, American, United, and ANA. Looks like the flight loads are not in my favor for the trip back so I decided to use POLAR as backup... I have never jumpseated on cargo carrier and that is why I had a couple questions about it. Anyways, I got figured out now after maing a few phone calls... Not to my company because they have never really been helpful. Thanks

Dont forget to check Northwest. I jumped on them thru DTW on the way out. On the way home I had to first go thru PDX then to DTW. Sounds worse than it was. Crews were super nice. Good luck

OHSTFU:

Did you non rev or jumpseat to/from Tokyo NRT on NWA? I was told that you could only non rev as jumpseat was not allowed internationally if you are not mainline NWA.

If you did indeed jumpseat, were you in the cockpit or did there have to be a seat available in the back?

ToiletDuck:

Any chance you could PM me the info as well? I will be travelling frequently on these routes.


Thanks!!!

I know that the TSA has prohibited occupying of the cockpit jumpseat on international flights. Period. So it doesn't matter if you work for mainline, affiliate or are offline, you can NOT occupy a cockpit jumpseat on a passenger flight into the US. You can still jumpseat, using whatever agreement is in place between the carriers involved, but you MUST occupy a seat in the cabin.
