Trying to jump to Europe in a couple weeks. Can anyone tell me what the listing procedure is for usairways international?
 
Europe is no problem. Go to the ticketing booth if they have one, otherwise just to the bag check in area. Tell them you'd like jumpseat and create a listing. You'll just need to show your airline ID and passport. You'll then get a boarding pass to go through security with.

Now if you're in the Caribbean as I've experienced, show up 2 hours early...be told that you can't do it for 30 minutes...wait while they call the US Air help desk for 30 more minutes to tell them that you can do it...followed by 45 minutes of them trying to figure out how to do it...followed by running to barely making the flight.

Edit*
Oh, and going is also no problem. Just go to the gate and they can list you there.
 
Like he said, outbound, you can list at the gate. Inbound you need to list at the actual ticket counter. Also, keep in mind that at most (all?) Europe airports, USAirways has two or three actual employees and then most of the rest of the staff is contract workers who work a whole bunch of airline's flights. You'll (normally) have to find the actual US employees to get listed for the ride home, but I never had a problem with them knowing how to do it (unlike the Caribbean as was said). And finally, have your credit card ready to pay departure taxes when you list for the jumpseat, inbound.

Every time I look at JS agreements I always see "jump seating on Intl flights not allowed" and of course I know the flight deck seat isn't allowed.


The one I really want is american airlines.

That's the one you won't get.

Maybe after the merger finishes up they will catch up with the rest of the world, but unless your company flies to international destinations (and last I checked, Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico didn't count) they won't let you jumpseat internationally.

Delta and United should though.

I've never had a problem traveling international on them.

Disclaimer: At the time I was working for a regional who shared a CASS code (and a jumpseat code prior to CASS) with a Legacy who did international (Europe/South America) flying and as such qualified even for American's international jumpseat policy.
