As an AA non rev traveling on a OW airline or other airline, we purchase a paper zed at a zed low rate for most OW airlines and zed medium for other airlines. Listing to create the zed reservation takes place over the phone and the purchase (and refund) takes place at the airport using a credit card. Two exceptions (there may be more) are for travel on BA and IB whereby the transaction can be done over the phone with a credit card and instead of a paper zed, an ezed is issued. No visit to the airport is required. The process is supposed to go electronic for all airlines some time this quarter.
