Plan
Use the StaffTraveler app to find flight options to and from your destination. StaffTraveler's advanced flight search engine helps you to find the perfect flights. Not sure where to go yet? We’ve got plenty of inspiration!
Prepare
Get the flight loads for the flights that you may take. Pick the flight with the best odds and book your flight on myIDTravel or your airline's staff travel booking portal.
Many airlines have their own specific rules and procedures when it comes to non-rev passengers. StaffTraveler includes a large database with airline-specific, non-rev related information.
Be flexible
Go with the flow, if you can’t get to your number 1 destination, try another one, there are so many beautiful places in the world to see!
Be kind
Always show appreciation and kindness to the gate staff. Once on board, remember you're enjoying a wonderful perk of the job. A little extra goodwill? Bring the flight attendants some snacks to brighten their day!
Dress smart
Sometimes, you’ll get an upgrade to business class; you might as well look the part (and some airlines demand this as well), so no flip-flops or torn jeans! Airline-specific dress code information can be found in the Airline Notes in StaffTraveler.
Relax
Sometimes, you might not make it onto your desired flight—take a deep breath and stay calm. Check for other flight options, and if nothing works, find an affordable hotel through the StaffTraveler app. Rest up, and give it another go tomorrow!
