In a nutshell.....
1. All rebate travel commences after 6 months of service
2. For "employee" and spouse and up to 3 kids unlimited SBY travel tickets to all EK destinations at around ID90 prices (fares differ on mileage) per year
3. 1 confirmed ticket home per person to Annual leave destination (decided in interview and non-negotiable) for all persons mentioned in point 2 above. This is per year of start date!!!
4. Class of travel for F/O's on subload is either Y or J class depending on which class of ticket you choose to purchase. For CPT's it's Y or J or F once again depending on what you buy. For annual leave ticket it's Y class firm upgradeable to J space available on departure for F/O's, and J class firm upgradeable to F space available on departure for Cpt's.
5. Children less than 16 cannot be upgraded to the higher class of travel on Annual leave tickets (on subload you all travel in the class you pay for)
6. Parents and parents-in-law, brothers and sisters of employee ONLY are entitled to 1 subload and 1 firm ticket (Cat C) per year in same class entitlement as employee, at rates dependant on mileage and class of travel paid for ie. CPT's family members can buy up to F class and F/O's family members up to J class
7. Cat 99 tickets are available to different destinations at different times of the year subject to load factor. Generally around $99 each way excl. taxes and in Y class only. You only know if they are available around 2 months in advance. Unlimited quantity to all family members mentioned above.
8. All "firm tickets" are confirmed but generally have low priority and are off-loadable to higher priority FIRM ticket holders. Suggest you check-in early to be safe!
9. After 3 years of service you can change your annual leave destination of travel ticket each year as mentioned in point 3 above
10. Extended relatives of Employee ONLY, ie grannies, uncles, nieces etc can get 1 Cat C firm ticket per person per year to selected destinations only, price dependant on mileage. Not very cheap and sometimes cheaper to buy a super Apex fare through a travel agent!!!
11. After 3 years of service you start accruing SRC or service related tickets at the rate of 1 ticket per year, subload. This gets beter after 5 and then 10 years but take note that it is 1 ticket in TOTAL and NOT 1 x ticket per family member
12. You can get unlimited subload travel for you the employee, spouse, children (and with some carriers YOUR parents) ,in Y class, on extensive other carriers through the ZED (zonal employee discount) scheme. Prices are dependant once again on mileage but close to ID90 fares
...... that's about it, I'm exhausted!
Happy New Year to all the flying Gang out there!
