UAL offers unlimited INTL Jumpseating!

I've only done international jump seat with United at NRT, and that was a few years ago, though the process worked pretty smoothly.

You request OMC at the ticket counter. Depending how full the flight is, they may issue you a gate pass to proceed through security. You may also have to wait in the counter area until 30-40 mins prior to departure on a full flight before they allow you to pass through security. You have to pay the international departure fees at the ticket counter.

I would check in with the counter to pay taxes/OMC......then at the gate to make sure you are listed and to confirm your OMC status so you won't get charged - then pursor to stroke their ego (candy helps) - on your way up to the front end crew.

Does the current UAL embargo on non-UAL non revs affect the chance of an international jumpseat? Thanks, trying to do LHR to ORD or IAD next week.
