Jumpseat Travel - to Sydney with UAL?
 

I'm looking to get down to Sydney, Australia for a week around Christmas. Any UAL drivers able to give me an idea of whether its worth a shot at this time of the year? ie. Am I likely to be competing with a lot of other drivers for a seat? Any info appreciated.

UA flies to Sydney from LAX and SFO.

Usually the jumpseat is available but flights are sometimes weight limited. If you go by flight ops around 9PM the crew can check with load planning.

Out of LAX try standing by for the AKL and MEL flights just in case (they all leave about the same time)and have some extra Qantas/Ansett/Air New Zealand ID tickets for the connection if it becomes necessary.

Good luck - you'll have a great time in Sydney.

i didn't think UAL allowed a "jumpseat"??

Ok maybe i'm very confused.......
