Retirement staff travel reprise

[Dropp the Pilot]

Haven't used the EK system for a long time. Can anyone confirm that a retirement-firm ticket gets issued as J but F is still offered on the day of travel if space is available up front?

Lucky you still have the facility.

Any GF bods out there ? Had limited and structured Retirement Staff TRavel which curtailed completely after a certain period. Still the dame ?

Yes it does I am entitled to retiree ticket Y-J and always get J on departure even a day before in some cases. For the last 12 years at least. Good Luck

No replies from any GF bods on here. No replies from any one in GF(emails,two letters, three phone calls).
Guess I am paying the price for rubbishing GF Staff Travel who removed the benefit for most in retirement.

Shell suit on, steerage in Ryanair like everyone else I guess.
