Question Flight deck visits

I'm about to set off on a round-the-world holiday with various airlines such as SAS, Thai Airways, Singapore Airlines, Air New Zealand and United. I was wondering if anyone knows if any of these airlines are still allowing flight deck visits? I noticed that photos are still being published from jump-seaters on airliners.net so I have my fingers crossed.

Yeah,probably.I got a nice picture taken a few weeks back on a BAW A319, pilots said most airlines haven`t got a problem as long as you ask during flight,then when the plane has landed and all shut down,you may visit the flight deck.

Ask the chief cabin crew person.

sounds like a nice RTW

Forget all US airlines - unless you are crew and in the crew room before departure - and even then .... only if you have mutual personal friends.

Being crew and/or a personal friend of somebody driving is now probably the only way left, with most of the other airlines that are not so 100% strict.

Good luck - you can but ask - somebody somewhere will say yes oneday.

I'm also taking a trip in august and thought , hey, what if I ask during the flight if afterwards when everything is shut down if I could go up front and chat with the pilots, but then I wondered how much this would freak out not only the flt attendant, but also the passengers near me...

Angry

Anyone have any idea on what Air Canada's policy is? I got a ride into YEG and YYZ last year pre 9/11, if the crew are the same do you think I could get in?
