Hi, I was just wondering if DL has considered getting rid of the ID90's and replacing it with ZED. All other airlines have it and it sounds like a luxury when traveling internationally. Do most all airlines have ZED?

Our Pass Bureau has been toying with the idea of switching over to ZED fares - but as of yet no announcement has been made to switch..
What exactly is ZED? Is it a buddy pass?
Somebody, a few days ago, at the World Headquarters told me it's in the works. Mayby by Jan1.?
See string on this subject at Rumors, true or false?
I did see an announcement from Delta late last year saying they were working on ZED fares and they would be available some time this year. So far haven't heard any though.Quote:
I sure hope that Delta goes ahead with the ZED fares.Quote:

Southwest just got ZED fares.
Would make it easier for non-revving if we all could use ZED fares
I was reading a Q&A about all of the new stuff that will be happening with the new Air France alliance and one of the questions was about employee non-rev travel. The answer was that current ID-96 travel policies will remain with no changes planned except for the changing to ZED fares next year -- so it appears that ZED fares are still being worked on for Delta non-rev travel.
All I can say is that when I called the pass bureau about something else, I asked about Zed fares. Response: "We don't do fares here. You'll have to go the ticket office." Didn't even ask what a "zed" was...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (mrs767er @ Nov 15 2007, 10:30 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div>Is there a "pass bureau"? I tried to contact them before I resigned and came to the conclusion it didn't exist anymore. I wanted to have a contact to let them know about The Nonrev Network once the new site was up and running.Quote:

Delta is going ZED....From DeltaNet.....
Delta Changing to Zed for Employee Leisure Travel on Other Airlines
January 24, 2008
Effective February 1, 2008, Delta will begin changing our interline employee travel agreements to Zonal Employee Discount (referred to as ZED) agreements. The ZED program allows employees and retirees (and eligible family members) of participating carriers to utilize standardized fares based on mileage rather than discounts off of varying published revenue fares. ZED fares are generally less expensive than ID tickets and can be accepted by any carrier that has a ZED agreement with Delta allowing travel on the other airline.
Initially, ZED travel passes will be available on AS, NW, and CO airlines. Additional airlines will be added as agreements are made. Please check the GRS or KM Keyword Nonrev topic for each airline to obtain the latest information per carrier.
Please note that both ticketing and travel for these new ZED passes will not be available until February 1st, 2008.
Thats especially great for me. I am based in SLC and work for Continental. The only good ID95 fare on Delta was SLC-HNL. It was $60 nonstop and I am sure it will be more on a ZED. It is cheaper than SLC-LAX on a Delta ID95.
This would be a GREAT news!
I just was looking at our interline agreement with Delta and it is now official. As of Feb. 1 our agreement is for ZED fares instead of ID95.
