CX#785 to Bali...
 

Hi folks,
Quick question...a mate of mine and I are trying to travel 'ID90' to DPS (Bali) in the beginning of July. Is this a tough flight to get on as a Non-Revenue passenger?
Thank you for your help.

Buying an ID90 ticket on CX means you are very much a revenue passenger! Yes it's the new improved staff travel "benefit" known as ZED! In other words a total rip off. However, to answer your query you should be OK.

Thanks very much Mole for the quick response.
It's my first time to that part of the world, and as an 'ID90' traveller.
Appreciate your help.

Rumblefish,

If you have a choice and can avoid HK I would advise it! SIN to DPS maybe through JKT might well be advised as an alternate route!

Been there twice this month, & no problems, although I went business class & I believe it was quite full in economy.

You might not get anywhere on CX in July ...
Unless the flyboys will enter a new agreement. Good luck to ya.

ID travel (including interline) WILL be suspended with effect from 01 July. Avoid
HKG at all costs.
Have a great holiday!

What about the jumpseat?...is it ever available for non-Cathay pilots with ALPA cards and ambitious travel itineraries?
