    So, I've worked for two airlines. One was Midwest Airlines as a ramper, and I continued my career with Airtran Airways working as a cross-trained agent, doing pretty much everything.

    Both Airlines gave me the benefit to fly for free, and gave me the option to fly free with Frontier, Continental, US Airways,Great Lakes for free. Both also let my parents and one companion fly free too.

    We really dont have lots of international agreements, only the Delta GLobal Fare, which I think is a bit overpriced. $350 for europe and $450 for Africa, Asia, and Middle East. And of course have to pay taxes on top of that.

    So I dont have lots of selection when traveling international.

    Would you guys care, or mind maybe discussing the benefits at your particular airlines?

    I know you are hoping to hear from the bigger carriers, but I know Midwest did away with the Delta global fare towards the end of 2008 and went to ZEDs. Maybe FL did the same? I was able to get to Japan (NRT) out of ATL for about $100 and back through DFW on AA for about the same. $200 RT sure as heck beats the global fare deal...

    I don't much like those smarty pants that inform of mistakes so I'm sorry that this might seem like that! I just wanted to let you know that Braathens is now SAS Norway so you'll get Medium ZED on them if you ever venture into Scandinavia.

    No worries!
    That is just how it is listed on our pass site. They are obviously slow to update it.
    I heard we have a ZED with China Southern now that they are Sky Team but it is not showing yet.
