for CX, is the wife allowed to travel by herself on an ID90 ticket? or does she have to travel with me? how about friends and other family members?
i keep hearing that communting for work as an SO is not doable, but if that's the only way to make it work, that's the only way
if anyone has done this, do you mind sharing your experience?

Yes your wife can travel on her own with CX and interline. So can your two nominees, i.e. parents, parents in-law or siblings. If you have children under twelve they must travel with someone over eighteen and can only travel in economy. Strict dress codes apply to all staff travellers.
I commute to Australia occasionally and find it very tiring. It is only for the short term so I am bearing with it. Everyone is different but I wouldn’t even contemplate trying to commute to North America. I know some, (not many) do it but I wouldn’t like doing it.

Travel Benefits
As parents of a NA DEFO on the 747F we flew in November '06 SFO-JFK-CDG and return. Our son purchased the ID 90 tickets in HKG on a oneworld alliance carrier. We watched the loads and flew accordingly as standby passengers. For approximately $150 USD each, we could have purchased a confirmed seat on any carrier . We would not had to worry if we were going to make the flight. ID 90s were not that great a deal in our case.
Fly safe!

That’s strange because the cheapest confirmed airfare I could find was US$880.00. Are you referring to price per sector or total and before or after all taxes and surcharges?

thanks 404.
I can imagine how tiring it is. i just did 2 trips between NA and HKG in the past 2 mths.
if it's so tiring, how do you guys up front do it? :| I mean, we as passengers get to sleep the WHOLE way!

It's different if you're driving; maybe the whole concept of getting paid for it?!
The entire commuting thing is tiresome, and everything it encompasses. I used to commute for over 9 years, some legs as short as Cleveland-New York City--let me tell you, that was tiresome. And it's always loose-loose: on the way home you're tired as $hit and dead after you get home; on the way to work you're always stressed out about any glitches getting there.
I can only imagine how a HKG-Aussie commute must suck...
