YYZ-MSP Jumpseat Tax on NWA
 

I have a lot of experience jumpseating out of Toronto. Usually the agents don't really know how to tax you properly. I don't know what airline you work for but if its any airline other than NW they probably taxed you using the OAL rate which is 32 and change. If you work for NW or one of the operating regionals you should have been put at a different rate. Usually its just as easy to non-rev out of Toronto unless you JS on AC or Jazz who don't charge the departure tax.

why post this in two forums?

There's a different rate for people whose airline actually operates out of YYZ?!?

Ya I know. This was last winter, but I was a Mesaba employee jumpseating from YYZ-DTW on a Compass flight. And the ticket agent had a NW rate a CZ rate and an OAL rate. each in ascending order. I tried to get on at least the CZ rate but no she considered me OAL at $32 if I was to use passes it would be $18 I think...

My apologies Driver!

I will ensure to post it on at least five more forums.

Interestingly, no money has yet taken out (from paycheck) for a ‘non-rev’ fee for my children traveling with me that day. I’m told it’s best to just list yourself rather than ‘jump-seating’ out of Canada.
