we should also look at cost for intl non rev. i think UA is charging a lot.
ex.
i pulled up the charges for a round trip to CDG
UA: ORD-CDG-ORD: first:$307, business:$258 (IAD-CDG-IAD) is $283 and $248
i tried DAL; MSP-CDG-MSP: $86 for business
How much are the fees/taxes on CAL for EWR/IAH-CDG-EWR/IAH?
maybe DAL's system is pretty good, you pay a flat $50 fee per year then it's all free coach/business/first.

CAL pass travel is divided into 4 regions: A-D
Region A is essentially domestic (including Canada and excluding Hawaii) plus some inter-South Pacific flying
Region B is To/From and Between Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, Central America, Hawaii, Mexico, Puerto Rico, South America and Alaska and/or the U.S. Mainland, plus some other Hawaii to South Pacific/Asia
Region C is Alaska, Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, Puerto Rico, South America and the U.S. Mainland
To/From
Asia, Europe, Guam, India, Israel, the Micronesia Islands, Saipan and the South Pacific
Region D is Asia, Guam, Hawaii, the Micronesia Islands, Saipan and the South Pacific
To/From
Europe, India and/or Israel
Not sure if United folks have access to the InsideCoair site from the new United together or whatever login, but if you do up at the top is "Pass Travel." Hold the cursor over that and select "Pass Travel Information" from the drop down. You will get a new screen. Scroll down to find: "Pass Travel Regions and Charges."
Based on your question about EWR/IAH to CDG that would fall in Region C.
An employee or spouse would pay $100 RT in coach and $260 RT in BusinessFirst.
See the reason why the fee-waived vacation passes come in so handy when we want to go overseas in BF? I can't even remember the last time I paid for ANY travel charges. I either JS, perfect attendance pass (if illness does prevent me from coming to work for six months
) or vacation pass.

Hi, I'm thinking about sending my mom standby on Continental from ROC-EWR, EWR to PHX. I have checked the loads on employee-res system and they seem fairly good. I'm wondering how accurate this system is.
Skynet will often say a flight is oversold only to have 30 plus seats open, or make it seem the flight is wide open and one hour later it's oversold. I realize there can be offloading, delays and cancellations but I'm just trying to get a general idea of how reliable the numbers are on employee-res. Thanks in advance for any input.
