ZED Fare – What is a ZED Fare?
A ZED Fare is a special fare/agreement between airlines to allow employees to travel on a space available basis.
‘
The next question in the Passrider Q&A series is from Albert Via e-mail, he asks:
“Not familiar with ZED fares. Where can I get info and prices?”
I’ve prepared a video with the information he requested.

Are parents of active pilots eligible to join this program?
Typically, yes. The rules re different by airline you wish to travel though, so ask your child to tell you which airlines their airline has a ZED agreement with for parents.

Do you know if express Jet has decided what 2015 will look like for it’s pass riders. I don’t think it has even had open enrollment for 2015. Our status is only good till Feb. 1st.
Good question Nancy. I have no idea.
Maybe an email to the Pass office may suffice?

Can you purchase ZED guest passes for friends?
Hi Josh,
Thanks for your question.
This is a question for your airline’s Pass Bureau. Typically, only members who are registered in your profile are eligible for the ZED agreement.

Up till what age do the children of retired employees benefit from ZED tickets?
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the question.
I think it’s 26, but just verify with your Pass Bureau as it may be different.

Hi,
How do we classify who gets checked in first according to ZED? is it the fare basis or the zones??
Please advise.
Kind regards,
Sela
Hi Sela,
That’s a good question indeed. I’d say that this will vary by airline. I think that its usually by the relationship that each airline has with the host airline coupled with your time of check-in. So if its say a Star Alliance carrier then other Star Alliance airlines would be first and within that some sort of priority.

IIs a retired flight attendant eligible for a Zed fare on another airline ?
Hi Marilyn,
Thanks for your question.
I’d say that this depends on your airline. Give your Pass Bureau a call or an email for clarification on the OA Policies.

Kerwin,
Nice website. Thank you for your time. I can buy a ZED fare pass DFW-SLC. If I make it to SLC on my carrier, can I use that pass in the opposite direction SLC-DFW?
Thank you,
Tim
Tim,
Thanks. Sorry about the delay.
Usually the passes are only valid in the direction/routing its written.
I’d get another pass just to ensure you have no issues.

My companion is planning to go to CDG from LAX using ZED on XL Airways, I wonder if he will need to be with me in order to travel or he can go straight to the gate of XL Airways?
Hi Carlos,
As long as the ticket is issued, they can go to the check-in counter and check-in.
The staff will then advise the next steps.
Good luck.

I,am a retired worker from Fed Ex express; ho would I proceed to get space confirmed tickets for my wife and I ?What is a good starting point for some one new with all of this nonrev,ZED things?
Thanks, Ken
Hi Ken,
Great question. First, I suggest contacting the pass travel office at FedEx and they will let you know with whom they have a relationship and how they book them.
I can answer general questions, but none specific to FedEx.
Let me know if this helps in any way.
Thanks.
Kerwin.

hi kerwin. I found a site that is very helpful when sitting on the ramp and trying to determine your position in the lineup and location on the airfield. as a ground worker i can tell when my aircraft enters and leaves the deicing pad or gate. it gives real-time location according to your flight number. hope you enjoy. http://airportviewer.com/
