Airlines and myIDtravel.com

Hi folks,

I work for TAP Portugal and so far we can buy ZED tickets (stand-by) on some airlines through the website myIDtravel.com. However, with many other airlines, that is still not possible.

I would like to ask my fellow colleagues of other companies: do you know when your airline will allow OAL members to buy ZED tickets through myIDtravel.com?
Or, do you know when your company will join myIDtravel platform?

I' am specifically interested in the following companies:

- American Airlines
- Brussels Airlines
- Swiss
- United Airlines
- US Airways

If anyone has that information... please share it.
Thanks.

Regards,
Alves

Hi Alves,

I'm not sure when US Airways will join this system, however, I am pretty sure you could buy a zed paper ticket from your airline and then list for a US flight.

Hi Chepos,

Yes, I can do that.
But with myIDtravel I can also buy the ticket and list at the same time. Right know that is not possible with US flights through the 'normal way' (we have to contact US directly to list ourselves).

I hope US can join myIDtravel soon!

Regards,
Alves

We just received notice a few days ago here at Southwest, that we'll be joining the myIDtravel program soon. Will know more info in the next couple of weeks.

I work for WestJet and so far we have access to Air France, Delta, KLM, Cathay Pacific, Allegiant, Condor, Dragonair, Emirates, Era Aviation, Estonian, First Air, Hawaiian, JetBlue, and Virigin America.

I know there are more Airlines joining soon as well.

It is a great system. It is easy to use, and lets you do everything (book, change and cancel). This really opens up the possibilities when travelling standby.

We received notice from our company that eff. 1st April all OAL staff travel is to be ticketed via myIDtravel and standy by travel is suspended with any airlines that are not in the programme. These were a handful of mainly smaller carriers. So no more printing paper tickets or running over to the staff travel desk. On checking the myIDtravel website however, I only saw those that were already participating from last year, without any new additions. I was expecting a long list of almost all IATA airlines. Hopefully just a technical glitch or transition problem. Having used myIDtravel, I find it a fantastic system. It gives a flexibility in planning trips and working out alternatives that's so important when non-reving

What carrier are you with?

Currently, DL folks can't get ezeds for Thai Airways on IDtravel--TG is having trouble processing our credit cards. So, we're temporarily getting paper tickets until further notice. Sadly, I can't even price one on the calculator, since they should be E...anyone have access to pricing for BKK/DPS/BKK?

Hi mrs767, based on ZH tarif in economy (the highest zed) a one way BKK-DPS is about 126 US dollars

Thanks--I finally got the calculator to give me a price of $158 RT. YAY!

Dear colleagues,

If you work for one of the following companies:

- American Airlines
- Brussels Airlines
- Swiss
- United Airlines
- US Airways

please tell us when will your company join myIDtravel (if you already have that information!).

Of course, colleagues from other airline companies, please feel free to share with us the same info!

Regards,
Alves

I just used it for the first time, and while I love the simplicity, I dislike that you cannot use the tickets on other ZED carriers like paper ZEDs....
Oh well, you can't win then all!!

We are approved from myIDTravel.com as of today! Looks like we can book/list on Lufthansa, Delta, Allegiant, JetBlue, Emirates, WestJet, Air Baltic, and another carrier or two I'm forgetting. Sounds like it's a very nice tool to have that makes offline travel easier.

Here's a myIDTravel question....

As an example, I have purchased a ZED on LH flt xxx from FRA-IAD via myidtravel, thus am also listed. Departure time arrives and I'm unable to get on the flight because it filled up.

I would like to travel on the next LH flt yyy to IAD in two hours. Do I have to purchase another $230 ZED (and deal with a refund on the first) to get on the list for that one, or will my e-ZED roll over?

it should rollover, I always make sure it is done with the agent at the gate...

That depends on the airline you're ticketed to travel on. Some allow the coupon to be used on an alternate flight, as is. Others require it be refunded and a new ticket be issued. Some of those can do that automatically, others require you self-manage that throught the myidtravel.

It's never an easy answer.

Say I purchase my ticket on the fly, so to speak. Do I need to print anything out to give to the ticket agent, or can I just give them a confirmation / listing number?

That depends on your airline's agreement with the OAL. If its one that supports eTicketing through myidtravel, then you're set to go. The ticket and listing are made concurrently and all you need to do is show up. If it's an eTicket issued outside of myidtravel, you need to contact the OAL to list, give them the ticket number so they can link it to the PNR, and off you go. If you're paper ticketed, you need to contact the OAL to list, then present the paper ticket at check-in.

hi mtalves
sorry to be out of subject here, but i notices you work for TAP? i'd like to ask you a favour, to you, or any of your collegues.
i'm a BA cabin crew, we recently lost the non rev interline agrement with TAP (TP) of Portugal. I desperately need them, i commute with Lisbon all of the time.

I'd be willing to nominate on my BA staff travel benefits another crew or staff of an airline which has an interline agreement for id90 or ZED tickets with TAP, or with an employee from TAP directly.
a good perk with BA is that we can purchase id90's in our business class for ourselves and for our beneficiairies only - it is not available to other airlines' staff, among many other benefits.
it's urgent !!
cheers, let me know! pls:cool:

Hi albercik,

I've sent you a pm.

Hi all. I see M7 had some trouble with this back in April..anyone know if we can now purchase passage (and list) on TG via MyIDtravel ? We are planning 3 weeks in Vietnam in March, and AF out of CDG is our first choice (I'm checking the smiley faces every day for today's and tomorrow's flights, just to get an idea), TG is the backup. Thanks!

Haltz--We bought TG ezed tickets in October. Still waiting for refund--should be soon, tho. They don't take Amex BTW. Buy one ways so you get full refund. We ended up connecting thru Singapore out of NRT since BKK flight looked poor--even with S2 and 25 yrs seniority. We brought Garuda paper zeds from home for Plan B to reach Bali--worked well!
PS--how are you doing the Vietnam visa? A new thread w/details would be much appreciated.

When we asked for our vietnamese visa few years ago I had to fedex our passport to the vietnamese consulate with the payment and a prepaid envelope for the return. It took about ten days.

Just out of curiosity, how much does myIDtravel charges for each listing? is it standard or varies from sector. I'm not on that system yet but CX is and its a pain to list on them now that they stop accepting paper.

Not sure how helpful I can be: we are getting our visas from their Paris embassy, using our EU passports. Going to France around jan 4.

There is no fee to the user to create a listing. Generally the airline, in this case CX, pays a fee to the provider.

Hello,
I'm trying to find out the current status of myidtravel.com implementation in my airline - but it's not easy:mad: I've heard that at the moment we cannot buy tickets on myidtravel.com. However, I can log into the system so maybe I could also make a listing for an already issued electronic ticket (our ticket office can issue ZED e-tickets for some airlines)... but I wonder if I'm able to find my ticket in the system since it was issued 'outside' it? Does any of you have the possibility to make listings on myidtravel for electronic tickets issued by a ticket office?
