BOARDING PRIORITIES
A few months ago I sent out information pertaining to boarding
priorities. I would like to reiterate some of the information and make a
correction regarding the guess pass rider boarding priority. A guest
pass rider is not eligible for a SA1 priority boarding even if they are
traveling with the employee who in advance listed as a SA1. However, a
guest pass person will be elevated to a SA3 priority status from a SA7
status if traveling with the employee and will maintain that priority
even if the employee is jumpseat eligible and decides to take the
jumpseat. The guest pass traveler will also maintain the SA3 status
should the employee be a working crew member on that flight (you must
notify the agent of the situation).
Unaccompanied travel dependents travel at a SA4 boarding priority. A SA1
priority is extended to eligible travel dependents: i.e. spouse,
children, domestic partner, registered guest, and parents if they are
traveling with the employee and the employee is also listed for SA1
travel. Should the employee be jumpseat eligible and decides to travel
on the jumpseat, the eligible travel dependents will not lose their SA1
priority status. If the employee is a working crew member on the flight,
then an eligible traveling dependant will travel at a SA3 priority
status.
I have provided the priority boarding chart below for more
clarification.
I received a few questions asking, "Does a SA1 vacation pass give
priority for the jumpseat award"? The answer is NO. The SA1 vacation
pass only applies to a cabin seat and does not apply to the jumpseat.
