Flight Famil/Jumpseat
Hi,
I thought this would be the most appropriate forum on the web with which to ask this;
But I'm a student and also a PPL holder down here in New Zealand and wanted to know about international jumpseating...
I have jumpseated (by which I mean had a flightdeck famil - I think?) multiple times domestically on the 737's and once on the Dash-8's and even had the (unbelievable) chance to sit in on a flight to Aussie too.
I'm going on holiday and I've read (often conflicting) reports about jumpseating in Asia... I'm going on MH, AK and AI and was wondering if it's possible to get the jumpseat on any of these airlines at all?
I understand I'm most likely clutching at straws but I thought it'd be worth an ask. I know in New Zealand, through prior arrangement it's not 'uncommon' (being a student pilot at the time helped for sure).
Any help with what to do would be really appreciated!
Thanks!

Does anyone know anything about the jumpseat policies (for passengers with paid tickets) for Malaysia Airlines, Air India or Air Asia? Just cause I have heard positive things towards the ability of getting in the flight deck...?
I just want to know if there's any way to give it a shot!
Cheers
