Tradewind Aviation staff travel & standby

All listings are made in myIDTravel, where you can create, change or cancel them.

1. In the first drop-down, select "Tradewind Aviation". With "All Airlines" you may see old or sold-out flights, wrong loads or an error message.
2. Click "Show Details" to see how many seats are left: the number next to "Y" is the count of unsold seats (for example, Z2 X2 E2 Y2 R0 B0).
3. Book your listing.

Confirmed travel, where offered, can be booked up to 60 days before departure.

Flights to and from Teterboro (TEB) aren't available to standby travellers. By-the-seat operations and sales are prohibited at Teterboro, so Tradewind can't carry non-revs there: not even its own staff.

• The first two bags are free if you work for a company with a bilateral travel agreement with Tradewind.
• All bags travel on a space-available basis. Flights to and from St. Barths may be weight-restricted.
• No bag may weigh more than 23 kg.

Check in at least 60 minutes before departure at every airport, and 75 minutes before international flights. On international flights, having the right documents to enter and leave each country is your responsibility.

Flights from Fort Lauderdale, Stuart and Westchester/White Plains leave from a private terminal (FBO). See "Know Before You Go" on the Tradewind website.

Non-revs are cleared by check-in time, and body weight may also be taken into account. A flight may not be cleared until 10 minutes before departure, so allow plenty of flexibility. Clearing order:

1. Tradewind staff and eligibles.
2. Other airlines' staff and eligibles with a commercial ticketing agreement.
3. Other airlines' staff and eligibles with an employee travel agreement.
4. Other airlines' staff and eligibles without an official agreement.
5. Jumpseaters.

Seats are assigned by body weight for the aircraft's weight and balance.

Tradewind takes part in the Dress to Impress non-rev initiative. Wear business casual: not your Sunday best, but try to blend in. Clothes should be free of odours and tears.

• Not allowed: flip-flops, board shorts with a T-shirt, swimwear, yoga-type pants and outfits, and spaghetti-strap tops for women.
• T-shirts are fine only under a vest, cardigan or fleece.
• Men: cargo shorts with a collared shirt are acceptable on the Caribbean network; on the Northeast routes, wear slacks, cargo pants or khakis.

Take off airline lanyards so you don't draw attention. The planes are fairly small and conversations carry, and passengers are curious about the airline's business and can easily overhear you.

In the San Juan lounge and at private terminals (FBOs), remove anything that identifies you as an airline employee, be discreet, and respect the privacy of other customers, including celebrities, politicians and sports figures. Airline attire isn't allowed in the San Juan lounge, but you can use its drinks, snacks and other amenities while you wait. Avoid discussing non-rev travel with other customers.

• Same-day flight changes are handled by Tradewind's counter staff.
• To get a refund, cancel your listing in myIDTravel. Refunds go back to the original form of payment and can take up to two weeks; if you don't see yours by then, email [email protected].
• Confirmed travel must be cancelled within 24 hours of travel; otherwise the fare is non-refundable.

Jumpseat: most flights have a two-person crew. On a single-pilot flight with 9 passengers on board, a non-Tradewind crew member can't ride in the first officer (FO) seat. Jumpseaters are welcome to non-rev whenever a cabin seat is free. Remove airline identification where you can, unless you are in uniform.
