Default OAL jumpseat Guam/micronesia?

Good day

Jet Blue guy looking to hitch a ride Guam to Chukk for some diving (GUM-TKK) since Guam is a U.S. territory and Micronesia is a protectorate, is the jump seat available to an OAL person or cabin only?

Thanks in advance!

You win the interwebz today for best question.

I had to look up protectorate -

"A protectorate, in its inception adopted by modern international law, is a dependent territory that has been granted local autonomy and some independence while still retaining the suzerainty of a greater sovereign state."

And that led to suzerainty -

Suzerainty is any relationship in which one region or nation controls the foreign policy and international relations of a tributary state, while allowing the tributary nation to have internal autonomy.

As far as your answer, I have no idea. Somebody will know, prob a Gwammer.

Here's your Kewpie Doll

You’ll want to buy a ticket. There is no way I’d ever try to JS on that flight, and I work for UAL. I may make it on, since UAL pilots on the JS can’t be bumped for weight issues, but my bags would never make it.

You may get there but leaving the flight is always weight restricted. And it doesn’t have daily service so you’ll be there for awhile.

Buy a ticket.

I’ve flown the hopper many times. I would not recommend jumpseating. The flight is always weight restricted. Definitely buy a ticket.

For what it's worth, I bought tickets HNL-GUM on UA when we went to Palau earlier this year. It's a good thing I did. had 40 seats open on the 777 and 80 nonrevs. We left all the nonrevs behind due to weight restrictions...!

Another option is thru NRT. We now have 2 cattle car 777s per day between there and GUM. Good luck.
