JS to Europe?

[Mr Wu]

Anybody have any experience of this? How much did it cost and did you have any trouble getting the jumpseat back to the States? Were the gate agents up to speed on the process and such?

I haven't had any problems going on NW. I went from DTW or MSP to AMS and then with ZED or ID tickets on from there. It is for free to leave the US and then on the way back from AMS you have to go to the ticket office and pay the taxes to get on to the jumpseat back to the states. The KLM gateagents in AMS are great and they know what you are talking about when asking for the jumpseat. If they look at you funny when you say "jumpseat", call it the "XCM" (cockpit jumpseat)

pitot.

I forgot,

the taxes to ride from AMS to the states were about $75.
