![]() ![]() A ZH LAX-SYD-LAX in economy will run you $378, vs the $80 to stay on your own airline. The airlines come to an agreement together to choose how much to charge each other’s employees. Zed Low, Medium, High, Value and service fee. There are 5 types of ZEDs that I can think of: ZL ZM ZH VAL and SF. A lot of times on short routes the tax is more than the fare. Because there’s a fee for ZED based on distance, you also have to pay all the other taxes associated for departure and arrival. ![]() You do get a ton of options on ZED, but it costs a lot more. ZEDs kick in once you’ve been employed for 6 months for most of them, some of them are 3 months apparently, but I haven’t looked in awhile. I used to fly to DUB every few weeks and the total was about $26 each time. The cheapest ones you’ll find are Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain among some others. It’s $0 to SYD, and the $80ish to fly back. So if you’re doing a round trip ORD-SYD-ORD. The most expensive taxes off the top of my head are UK ($170?), France, Germany, ($80ish) and Australia. (There are a couple of countries in the pacific / Caribbean / Asia which do but I can’t remember) This is regardless of cabin you’re seated in for AA. Since there are extremely few countries who assess taxes flying inbound, you’ll almost never have to pay a dime leaving the US to fly to another country. And are there tons of airlines that AA can ZED on?įor international you only pay the applicable departure and customs taxes. What about AA international flights? And can you tell me what those taxes and fees would roughly run? Example would be flights from ORD-CDG and ORD-SYD? Just curious how much those flights actually cost with ZED fairs. But I like that AA benefits are by check-in and not seniority.Īnyways, so can you help me understand ZED a little more, or at least the cost of it? I know with American you don't pay anything for domestic flights. I.E my schedule would be less making it easier to run my own business. Although Unifi would probably be more convenient with fewer flights to the airport. Not really looking at Unifi because I've heard that its next to impossible to get on DL flights because Unifi is D3 passes. An airport local to me has openings with AA and Unifi. I have considered taking a PT job with AA in order to have access to my own non rev benefits. Start with calling Global Travel - Personal Travel.So I have nonrev'd for years on a friends buddy passes. Don't know about international.Īlso, the AA tickets are standby at the LOWEST of their non-rev priority list. ![]() My direct family has used AA a couple of times and it has been fairly painless, and way cheaper than the best online fares on AA - but that was for a short domestic trip. It is NOT a fast process, so give yourself PLENTY of lead time if you're ordering these kind of tickets through GT.ĭepending on the carrier you want to use, the "deals" are widely varying in price and rules (priority of standby, which family members are eligible, etc.) The actual ticket purchase/request is done by sending them (email or fax) forms and then they issue the paper ticket & send it to you - or you can pick it up at the AOC Global Travel office, or other delivery options. Call to get a quote for the "variable rate" carriers. This page has all the standard fees listed for most of the "fixed rate" carriers. There's a page on under the FORMS link on the home page. the usual "crew member travel only" option.Īll the discounted non-rev-type tickets are purchased through this section of the Global Travel office, and they can give you info and rate quotes, etc. Thanks.Call Global Travel and select the "personal travel" option vs. ![]() On a weekend layover, and all the Global Travel stuff is on the intranet, so I can't get to it. Have any of you FedEx'ers used a ZED fare for SA travel overseas? With a spouse? ![]()
