I'm assuming they're commuting back home? Does that then mean that they can get tickets on any airlines within the IAG group? Or maybe only just for commuting purposes? I'm really interested to know so if anyone has any knowledge of this, could they kindly please post below.
As mentioned by wiggy, free staff travel is pretty much non existent. You may be entitled to heavily reduced airfares but certainly not free, taxes and charges must also almost always be paid exactly like a regular passenger, at least that's how it is where I work and other airlines i know of.
