Internation Jumpseat
 
Comrades,
Apologies in advance for any spelling, grammer or sentence errors. This post is being typed from an Iphone. I am looking to get to DXB this Sunday night. Apparently Delta is over booked on Sunday or Monday night. FedEx does not allow International Jumpseat. Anyone aware if UPS or any other freighter allows to jump seat? United is not looking good either.... All of sudden Dubai has become a popular spot.

If this thread is in a wrong section, mods please relocate it.


Thanks in advance..

UPS and Fedex don't allow for offline international jumpseating. Polar does however. Goodluck getting over there!

Anyone knows when will international flight deck jumpseating be implemented?
Last year it was approved by the Government (not sure which though) Agency.

If you're going to Dubai, consider Kalitta. They fly into Sharjah, the emeriate next door to Dubai in UAE. You can take a bus or taxi, or perhaps catch a ride with the crew. I woul bet they stay in Dubai, but best to ask them. They fly there a lot from Germany, and maybe even direct from the US.

Check United as well! They have a non-stop Dulles-Dubai flight, though not sure what the loads are like!

For the record: 11 open, 4 non-revs listed as of 10:19am PDT. Could be worse...

Thanks everyone for the response. United is looking promising. I will use polar and kalitta for future references. Thanks again all :)

international jumpseating in the cockpit is years away. there is a LOT of security hurdles that each airline will have to overcome before I-CASS can be used.
