Default Non-rev debate

Im heading to europe in Feb. I switched airlines so no i only have nonrev benefits that are tied to basically a domestic only airline. To my knowledge they do not have aZED fare or Id90 program with us. That leaves me with straight up jumpseating. I Fear getting stuck over there. I can buy a ticket for $426. Bad part is the ticket isnt exactly where i wana go and i would have to make my way back there for the return trip as well. Ideas?

Jumpseat internationally on:

United
Northwest
Continental
Delta

if you have agreements with them.

There is also Polar and Atlas from some places in Europe to the US.

US *should* take you as well, but I don't know if you want to risk the low service level.

AA is the only one I know of that has a separate domestic and international jumpseat list.

I'd suggest if you need to buy a ticket... buy a ticket coming back and jumpseat over.. if you don't get over there, it's not that big of a deal as not getting back

Not to state the obvious but you can buy a one way to anywhere in the US, then jump home. If that ends up being cheaper that is. How long you going for and where in Europe?

I could be wrong; but, I think the concern is getting HOME, not getting there. So buying a ticket for in the US doesn't really help the cause much.
