Airline Employee Travel Benefits

"Working for the airlines is the only way to travel the world - practically for free!"

Can you imagine traveling from New York to L.A. for under $20? or going from Dallas to Paris for $50?

Whether it's hot sandy beaches, skiing in Aspen, boarding in Chile, golfing on pro coarses, doing adventure travel, or visiting your family halfway across the country - or the world - if you love to travel, working for the airlines is the ONLY job that can make your travel goals an affordable reality.

Benefits vary by airline

Each airline has its own policies for employee travel benefits. Some companies allow employees to travel for absolutely free, and others charge a nominal fee, or a fee based on the number of miles that will be flown.This fee can range from $10 to about $70 for a long haul or overseas flight, depending on the airline.

But what if you work for an airline that only flies in one region – lets say, the Midwest US? Do you still get international travel benefits?

It’s a pretty nice life when you work for an airline, even if you work for a smaller carrier. That’s because more than 100 airlines participate in interline agreements, which allow employees from one airline to travel on a variety of other airlines for only 10% to 20% of the highest fares, when space is available. In other words, you fly cheap. However, you fly stand-by.

The good news is, even stand-by has improved with the development of airline company Intranets. Now, many airlines provide employees online access to real-time seat availability, so you can determine if you have a good chance of getting a seat on stand-by.

This way, you don’t have to waste a trip to the airport, or a trip to a foreign city, if there is a good chance the plane will be full – either for your departure or your return trip.

Cheryl - Life as a Flight Attendant

"Since I started working in the airline industry, I have visited 8 Caribbean islands, vacationed in Hawaii 4 times, Mexico 12 times and travelled to Australia, New Zealand, England, Spain and Italy....not bad for a girl from Albany, Georgia.

I started working for a small regional as a Reservation agent. After 2 years, I got my dream job as a Flght Attendant. The job is great! I get a lot of time off, and use that time to travel. My friends and I usually meet in Cancun - where it is always a blast - or a place to relax. I can't imagine doing anything else for a living. I have made so many friends and seen so many interesting places."
