International Jumpseating

[fried chickens]

Does anyone have info on how to jumpseat internationally? With high summer loads, I was thinking of jumping on cargo. I heard FDX and UPS don't allow JS for abroad. I'm 121 and CASS and I know CASS is for domestic but it might help for going overseas. Any ideas?

its like domestic jumpseating except you have to have a seat in the back. so its really more like having an ID-90 you dont have to pay for. they still run you thru CASS even tho you're not sitting up front anyway.

do they nail you for the taxes as well? Or is it totally free?

You have to pay taxes of course.

you dont pay taxes on jumpseating. you might have to pay an airport security fee or something but that depends on the airport/airline/etc. i have noticed that i have been asked to pay the security fee more often than not lately.

the taxes on airline stuff has gotten out of hand, especially to Europe. They have so many frivolous taxes like a stupid UN aids tax that are wasteful.

What airline do you work for. I can give you the email adress for your jumpseat chairman.
