Hey any Express-jetters: I am planning on sending a family member from IAH to LCH (Lake Charles) on a ZED pass. Do I need to obtain a ZED pass for Continental or ExpressJet? I remember our travel center saying something along the lines that the Continental ZEDS are used for Continental Expressjet flights, and to use the ExpressJet ZEDS for the branded stuff. Also, should I list through Continental's listing service, or list directly through ExpressJet's listing service? Thanks for any help!

I find that the best way is to call their reservation number, and tell them you want to jumpseat on their flight and want to get an idea how many seats are open. I've had good luck doing this with Alaska, Southwest, and Frontier.

Damn that cant be more than a 2 hour drive... why fly it.????

ZED ticket is cheaper than rental car plus gas.....plus less hectic. Origin is SFO, so probably would be easier to fly the whole way.

Great site. Thanks for the link

LCH on xjt would all be done through CAL. 1866flyepas should be the number to call.

The 1-800-NWA-NREV number will not help you. Your going to have to have your company set you up with a NWA employee number and PIN before you can even check seat avail. Its a pain. You may also be able to fly with Delta now since all of NWA and Airlink can fly them for free!

Thanks for the info!

That's news to me....at my Airlink who flies for both NWA and Delta, only the guys who fly the -900 get Delta employee pass bennies, and the guys who fly the -200 only get NWA employee pass bennies.
