Default Jumpseating Internationally on Lufthansa

I was trying to list on MyIdTravel for the jumpseat on Lufthansa, and there wasn't an option. Then looked on the ALPA App and didn't see them listed. Are we not allowed to jumpseat on them to Europe? I can understand if we can't sit in the cockpit, but I thought we could get a cabin seat.

Jump-seating is a US thing.

Employees of foreign carriers consider themselves fortunate to buy discount zed fares.

Go to pprune and ask they might know. I've had the crew offer before but had a zed.

If you buy an ID90 and there is no seat in the cabin
Maybe the captain will let you on the JS...

I've had LH captains put me in the cockpit js and in a stew js. and I've been left at the gate. one of my most indelible memories is of the swedish archipelago around Stockholm, lit by a full moon, at midnight, viewed from the cockpit js on LH.

Jumpseating as we know it in the US doesn't exist anywhere else (i.e. ride for free). Some of the Euro carriers (non of the U.K. ones) will let you sit in a flight attendant or cockpit jumpseat if there are no empty seats, but only if you have a ZED or ID90 ticket for the flight already. Good luck!

It depends on the Captain entirely. Some of them are cool and will take friends and family of employees. Others hardly let there fellow LH pilots on. Generally most of them will let you on no problem.
