Jumpseating in the UK? (EasyJet more specifically)
Hey everyone...
I'm in London right now and am trying to get to Paris. Is it possible to "jumpseat" to Paris? More specifically, I am trying to get on an EasyJet flight to CDG. I'm a Captain for Continental Express in the US and have all of my certificates, airline ID, etc with me. Thanks! Please email me at [email protected] or post here. Great appreciated!

Hey Neal, I work for xjt as well and I go to europe every other month , best way is to get a zed ticket for 25-30 $ at any continental check in, in your case in LGW, in europe jumpseating is not common and most crew won t give you a ride, insurance reasons I guess.
Good luck.

No Jumpseat policy with easyJet.
However just save your self the agro and buy a seat! London to CDG should only cost you around £23-30 each way.

easyprison - "No Jumpseat policy with easyJet."
OPS MANUAL A, chapter 8 "Admission to flight deck"
"Use of the flight deck jump seat is restricted to the following authorised personnel only.
Operating crew members.
Extra crew........Extra crew are shown on the Crew List as normal operating crew.
Easyjet quality auditors / CAA Flight Operations Inspectors
Company personnel engaged on company business, providing all seats in the cabin are occupied.
Positioning crew members.
Government or CAA officials.....who have statutory powers to enter and remain on flight deck."
It then goes on to state that under special circumstances some ATC people may be carried for training purposes, Non company engeneering staff "positioning on a system of mutual help", "other airline personnel for the purpose of airfield familiarisation", "aircraft manufacturers", "company doctor"......
"Following persons are not permitted to occupy the fligth deck jump seat under any cirumstances:
Company staff using staff travel.
Relatives of company staff.
Non staff entitled to staff travel"
Neal Schwartz - THIS is why you cannot "jumpseat" in Europe (at least with our company).......
