When my wife uses one she is the absolute LAST person to get on, so it can be risky. Most airlines will tell us the loads so we can get an idea. I don't need a ZED domestically as I can jumpseat free. On my own airline and mainline partner you are correct, we need no ZED tickets. Hope this helps. Non-revenue travel can be very complicated.

The prices certainly are attractive. You and your wife would not need a ZED on your own airline since you can non-rev there for free. Hope that I have that straight now.

Only the airline employee and immediate family are allowed to buy/use them. For me it's just my wife and my dad. My wife and I get unlimited ZED's while my dad gets only a set amount...not sure how many as I have never bought one for him. I gave a pretty good overview of ZED on this post http://geekinthecockpit.com/?p=188 ZED is a Zonal Employee Discount pass. Only the airline employee and immediate family are allowed to buy/use them.

Can you explain what it is and how it is used. I assume that it is a discount ticket for employee family members. How much does it cost to use and how many of them do you get?
