Atlas operates under the Quantas call sign into Chicago. I'm guessing they stop in LAX before heading down under.

That would be a good place to start.

 

What exactly is the difference between zed and id90s? Do we have access to more airlines with one than the other? Like I said I haven't traveled except jumpseat offline. With my previous company I was able to use my company pass benefits everywhere we went.

 

Just found out my company has received a firm offer on our plane and it will be sold soon. I've been trying for well over a year to get hired by Spirit. I'm sick and tired of where I love and am in dire need of a change. What would you guys think about taking a ramp agent job with Spirit? Aside from the obvious of pay, work, etc. do you think that might help me at all? I've got 121 experience and corporate the past 5-6 years. I'm not going back to a regional…

 

not a bad idea, unfortunately you'll need 500hrs plane parking expirience

 

An actual complaint on the spirit facebook page: 'never fly spirit, $140 roundtrip ticket, $121 to check 2 bags'

That is so cheap, especially if you are smart enough to not check 2 bags..which is why these people will book again on future flights.

 

Is that 500 PIC parking experience?

 

As long as the tugs are diesel, it should count!!! Lol

 

Ids are based on the price of a ticket for that flight. Zeds are based on block levels of distance and are much more convenient to use IMO. An example of how you could use zeds: if you want to travel from A to B I would buy a zed ticket on every airline that flys from A to B that has an agreement with your airline. The zeds will all cost the same amount because they are based on distance and they are not based on a specific flt number, day, or time. Day of travel you take your zed ticket to the ticket counter of airline you wish to travel on and they list you and print a boarding pass (this is online now some places). If you don't get on do the same for option 2 etc. When you your trip is over return all the zeds you didn't use or flights you didn't make it on for a full refund. Id prices are all over the board and when you are in a foreign country trying to make last minute changes on the fly its a pain in my opinion. Zed equals awesome.

 

Thanks for the tips. It looks like I'm stuck with United as an international option for now. Hopefully that will change with time. I can list for the jumpseat, it's trying to get my wife to and from that makes it more difficult I guess.

 

Any news on efb's?
