Please read very carefully, folks and don't panic!
Basic deal is this:
DL going paperless for nonrev interline travel. Some paper agreements will become electronic; some will wither and die. Thai will convert but not until a few months after. Lots of deadlines to absorb if using paper.
Best news is NO MORE PAPER NONREV TKTS!!
There is also a memo about VX nonrev that might be of interest.
Cheers!
I had no idea there were any paper options these days.
DL has agreements w/150+ airlines. Some, like TG, have not stepped up in terms of technology for nonrev. They've seen the writing on the wall, as others have. Once ezed agreements are in place, they generate income for those unsold seats w/minimal fuss, so why not get with the program?
Likewise. I've nonrevved on DL on a few times and love the convenience of not having to deal with paper tickets.Quote:

No more Air Canada either.
I guess I am the only one that liked paper? I liked that they were inter-changeable on other carriers.
I doubt if TG will take long to get as they show up on MyIDtravel through my companies access, even though we do not have an agreement with them. Some have tried and have made flights and others have not. You would think MyIDtravel would keep each companies list correct but we have a few airlines show up that we do not have official agreements with.
What gets me is OZ, DL does not have an agreement, UA is ID90T and we have a paper ZED. I asked our travel department why we have paper but UA has electronic and had some excuse. Makes no since. Maybe with DL going all electronic the airlines still using paper will do something.
I noticed that even the few airlines we have through ID90 that DL's list does not include them either.
V--AC, TG, BE (Flybe) and G.Lakes all plan to be on ezeds by May 1.
Offroader--I suppose some will get a clue and go to ezed program w/MyID.
I'm surprised @ KE and JL. When it takes so much effort to refund paper, it makes alot of sense to drop it. Aeroflot I understand; they've been stealing technology from the west for a long time (hehe). Maybe their sources have dwindled? Or too much bureaucracy?
According to DL documentation that our son checked, 9E parents should be OK for eZed on KL. When he tried to book us, myID says "not eligible".
I thought I'd run it by everyone here before he goes through the PITA process of getting an accurate answer from the Pass Bureau.
It can mean a lot to us since AMS is our #1 TATL focus point from JFK, BOS and DTW,
Why are you flying on KL when DL has 15 flts daily?
I saw the same eligibilty; as long as you are one of his pass riders,you should qualify, UNLESS, there is a code-share issue. What is your itinerary, please? Are you wanting to fly from AMS on KL to another city? I'l try to ck further for you. I don't leave for MAD until tomorrow am (to NY)
We'll fly DL TAT'L, no problem there, and mostly to AMS. KL then has the most extensive network to other intra-European locations and we'd like to either non-rev or eZed within Europe.
We're planning a Norway fjord trip in July and would like to get to BGO or OSL from AMS. No DL metal on either route though. No rush on this.
Interesting that AF is OK with eZed for us.
We're both Pass riders and use it extensively. No Code Share issues.
Note. Used Miles for award ticket VIE-AMS on KL in September then nonreved AMS-JFK on DL
I would expect 9E to be the same as other DL connection carriers. If you son goes under MyIDTravel to ID agreements and selects KL it will probably not list parents.
Through my access to MyID, my parents cannot fly KL, shown in the ID agreement section.
Endeavor (9E), Compass and DGS are included in eZed. He checked again and KL does not include parents (too bad).
Where can he get info about the VA nonrev changes? That would be great for us as well.
Thanks much.

I will also miss Air Serbia. I was ready to fly on the nonstop JFK-BEG when it starts up in September.
If you mean Virgin Atlantic as DL/VS joint venture it's TNet, Emp CNX, Pass Trav, then JV fare option for VS. Any other VS are regular ezed fares. See VS website for JV destinations.That's the way I see it but have no practical experience.
Thanks
