Jumpseat Question
 

Kind of an obscure question, but didn’t know where else to ask… I’m trying to go to Korea next month, and I saw United has brought back the SFO-ICN-PVG flights. Does anyone know if nonrevs/jumpseaters allowed to take that flight and get off in ICN? Or do they force everyone to stay through to PVG (seeing as I can’t enter China, I wouldn’t be allowed on the flight)? Thanks for any help!

If it’s just you, I would recommend looking into Atlas or Kalitta to get to Incheon. They both have a ton of flights there from CVG, LAX, ORD, and JFK.

I would do atlas… but sadly, they aren’t doing international jumpseats still due to covid. I’ll check on kalitta though!

We have a standalone SFO-ICN flight. I don't see why you couldn't just jumpseat on that, unless it's because loads look better SFO-ICN-PVG. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but PVG was at times a "cargo only IN, cargo + pax OUT" destination, as China had prohibited entry from the US. IIRC, the ICN-PVG tag was to have our crews layover in ICN. Good luck!

Yeah it was just for loads. We’ll see what happens!

no.
pax are not allowed on or off the flight in icn.

But as a jumpseater…….

Call FODM

u with United?

Nothing on or off. It's a customs thing. It's really a PVG flight with a fuel stop.
