I'm BACK! I still enjoy my Retire flight privileges for life, with SWA! I've been to England twice and my wife 3x over the past year via ID-90 (MyID Travel). One trip she made was for my ONE MONTH working for Envoy Airlines (American Airlines). THAT was sweet, because to UK was free and back is UK taxes, only. One trip was in Business Class, for her! BUT, I wasn't feeling being back on the Ramp (low seniority, pay and first to get mandatory OT). Yet, I miss the Buddy Passes to travel with my grandkids, so I'm applying for Delta CSA - Ready Reserve. It's a minimum of 600 hours a year - 1,300max. No benefits, but flight privileges and DELTA - which we use for ID-90 now, out of Birmingham, UK, by way of KLM/Amsterdam. Delta's ComfortPlus is nice, but I will definitely choose First Class as an employee!
I just secured my job at Swissport as a Customer Service Agent I cannot wait for this new adventure. I just wanted to thank you so much for giving us info and tips 👏🏾😍
chatoyér woody Yay! I'm so excited for you. You can do it! Be positive smile lots and know about the company and what they're looking for. Thank you so much for the idea for the video! Please let me know what happens.
@@TheBohemianTraveler thank you! I've been watching your videos to get the hang of it I'm still waiting for my drug test and background check to come through. I love being around planes myself. And it was one of my goal jobs. I'm working for GAT.
Hello The Bohemian Traveler, I just got hired to do ramp. I am very excited and start my training in a few days. What can i expect during the the classroom/training portion? In general what am I going to be learning or doing in these classroom/training settings? Thank you for your feedback in advance.
DaVonne Wilson every airline is different, but generally speaking, you may do computer modules where you go through hours of computer training. You will read about safety, security and various terms and things that you need to know about how to work the ramp. Many times at the end of the course, there is a test to check your knowledge and understanding. You may also be at a computer and have a trainer lecture and go over the different things and then test you. It totally depends. It’s not rocket science, the main thing is just pay attention and you should get it. Congratulations on your new journey!
The Bohemian Traveler is there a score you have to get to pass and let's say you don't pass what happens or if not u don't move on . Sorry I'm coming from a law firm and the airline industry is new to me
after a year of building experience at two different contract companies i am finally ramping for AA. My training starts very soon and i can't wait for the benefits. now to get through the 6 month probation lmao. greetings from DFW.
Asher woodman How exciting!!! You’ve arrived!! Lol. You’ve got this! I pray this new journey is great for you. Enjoy your awesome benefits your coworkers!
Hey Asher, I'm just getting started with Menzies Aviation (I think that's a sub-contractor) at Ohare in Chicago. Did you just simply apply for AA after a year and get hired?
Update: This Friday will be my LAST DAY of training at Envoy (American Eagle), after 4 (four, fore, for) weeks! Wife-Baby has taken advantage of my American Airlines flight privileges by flying from the U.K. for my B'day 4-15 and will probably return again in about a week. The GREAT news is that I have a Skype interview with Princess Cruise Lines, next Thurs, to be an Assistant Cruise Director - DJ. Glad for the Envoy gig, after the UA fiasco, but as you've stated, there is NO MONEY in working for an airline, on the Ramp! But at least we're getting ONE good flight from it!
SingMotown Karaoke Revue & Old School Dance Party Yep! It’s like working for free right? The benefits make it worth it for me. Congratulations on your new job prospect. I’m so excited for you! Carpe Diem!
I love your videos, I just started watching, I am interested in cleaning the planes. I trying to only work part time. What is the least amount of hours you've worked. I was thinking about 2 days a week like 6pm to 10 pm.....
It’s going to depend upon the station and the airline and your seniority. The least I was scheduled was 6hrs a week. Many times I would stack and go in one day a week. Good luck on your journey.
awesome videos. They are very informative and enjoyable. My daughter works for JB. We've taken advantage of the family perk and now we're looking toward Hawaii. JB does not fly there but Hawaiin Airlines, as a sister airlines, does. we normally book flights with JB using MyTravelID. you mentioned ID90 in this video - are they similar? My question is: How can i book a flight to Hawaii via the MyTravelID?
Scott Melanson Thank you. I’m pretty sure MytravelID and ID 90 are pretty similar. I’m not sure how to book it through your airline because every airline is different. I’m sure they have a travel help line desk or a link that walks you through the steps. Good luck!!
Great Video, thank you for sharing. Can you tell me how long till I will be able to fly for Delta, I’m getting my badge next week, I already passed everything else. And is there any other airline I would be able to fly besides Delta which I work for?
With Air Canada you have to pay to travel but very cheap around 100$ round trip around the world including family and one friend which I believe you can change every 6months and you have 10 tickets a year to give to any friend you want but they must travel with you also if you work during holidays they give you free flights and if you work a full year you get a free flight as well.
I’ve used my airline benefits in the past for reduced prices. But many times I get lazy and when I land, I just go through Expedia. We stay in different locations each time generally.
Greetings! I'm here with a Non-Rev question. Can I add my mother's live in partner on the non-rev dependent list? (I just went for fingerprinting, last week, and am standing by for getting my badge. Training is not supposed to begin until mid-Jan, so I'm hoping to get the badge, SOON, so I can get to England for Christmas, to join my wife. I still get a discount from my SWA retirement, but I'm looking forward to an even cheaper rate as UAL! Another question: What's the average tax that you've had to pay, going RT to Europe?
SingMotown Karaoke Revue & Old School Dance Party Hello!!! London is the most expensive route because England charges a lot on taxes coming home. It costs about $172 roundtrip. The same trip to Paris is about $72. I know an agent that has their mom and stepdad on the benefits so I'm assuming that it's ok for you as well. Don't quote me though. Congrats on your new adventure!!!
SingMotown Karaoke Revue & Old School Dance Party I just realized you said live in partner. I'm not sure you can add them as a dependent. You can always ask. But you can add them as an enrolled friend.
No, I'm married. My mother has a "partner" - (Old folks don't like to get married because it messes with their pensions & Soc. Sec!) Some airlines recognize partners as "spouses" as long as there is proof of co-habitation.
As I expected with England! Using our discount on MyIDtravel, the cost is $140-To & $260-From, for the same reason - English Taxes! $172 is better than $400, though!
SingMotown Karaoke Revue & Old School Dance Party So true. You know what's weird? I was thinking of going to Japan from Hawaii and it didn't charge me taxes to get there. I haven't checked on the way back though. Have fun in England!
DreX 720 every airline is different. At my station, for ramp agent, it was two full weeks of 40 hours of training. After that, you get your own schedule. Great question!
Every airline is different. But it is the spouse, the children, and the parents and/or step parents. With my one airline, I was able to enroll my sister as well as an an enrolled friend. At my new airline, I am able to have two parents and/or parents in law.
Oh my gosh. Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been pondering about joining specific airlines to get a discount to fly. I’m from Guam and boy is it pricey to visit home. My fiancé and I wanted to fly to Hawaii for a weekend because the flight is to long for the family. Thank you again! (New Subscriber)
JoeEastern yes, you have to be creative though. I travel a lot but my vacations are usually only four or five days. Because I have kids and I bring them with me. But I have a friend who travels for a month at a time. Her and a friend work together and she will work an entire month for him, and then the next month, he will work the entire month for her. There’s always a way. I’ve gotten two weeks off at a time just by doing trades. Totally possible. Great question.
Robert urriza flights are unlimited as long as there is space available. Your vacation will depend upon the days you get off for pto, schedule swaps and vacation time. Currently I work about 10hrs a week.
@@TheBohemianTraveler are most of the hours short like that. I just applied for a position and only want to do per diem or part time. I have another job
hellojenny24 normally four hours is the minimum. My station is a little odd. Still apply and see how you can make your schedule work. Also, you can give your shifts away if someone wants to take them.
Miguel Zamudio it depends on which seats are left. Generally, I pick flights that are really open so I am able to sit with my family. The Customer Service agent will put your party together if they can.
I can't really say but I bet you can figure it out. I know that Swissport at LAX- at least in the years past did not offer flight benefits. I'm not sure about where you work. Either way, you can get your experience and be able to apply for something else if you so desire. Congratulations on your new job and welcome to the industry!
Culture shock Life network it should be pretty easy to get a job in Atlanta because it’s Delta’s main hub. That’s my favorite airline! Keep applying! Let me know how it goes.
@@Teachkun DGS is hiring in Atlanta for cabin agent plus flight benefits. Go on DGS website also ABM hiring as well. I'm currently an employee at ATL international and love it. Fyi- we work in the elements here on the tarmac and it does get really hot and really cold during the winter and summer.Good Luck
Hello, I have been interested in a career in the aviation industry for the exact perk benefit you just expressed. but I am curious as to what positions that are offered for a person with some physical limitations (due to stroke)...or is it even a possibility...the plane cleaning seems like a position I could handle...please help with any info...also are there any disabled veteran programs or positions you are aware of?
seljones33 Great question. I’m not exactly sure about the disabled veterans positions. But I’m assuming they have them because most jobs do. I’m thinking cleaning the plane or something in the corporate sector are not too physical. Maybe even a customer service agent. Get an airline job that still allow you to get perks. Call centers also and their credit unions may work for you as well. Anything in which you can work for the airline and get the benefits. God bless you guys in your journey!
You have been very helpful Thank you...quick question do you have to be a ramp agent to clean the planes...as I watched your video that did seem to be the easiest job for me
seljones33 At my station you do and it’s only 2 night planes. Most stations actually have cabin cleaners that do it. My station is unique in this regard
Hey quick question if you are still working as a Ramp Agent. How about if you are single? Can you have a travel companion that gets the same benefits as Spouses would get. Since you are not married. In my case it would be my girlfriend.
rekiya miller Great question. I don't think I'm able to say which airline because I don't officially represent the company. I don't want to get in trouble.
Well, I'm BACK! Last night I decided to submit an application for Envoy (AA's Regional) Airlines, when I saw that they get the same flight privileges as AA. I'm applying for Ops Agent, instead of the Ramp, this time! I had my interview with Chase Bank, two weeks ago and STILL haven't gotten a yay or nay. Job hunting at 55+ is no joke! I'm trying this, one mo' 'gain - for the flight privileges! AA codes shares with British Airways, so that would be "perfect!"
SingMotown Karaoke Revue & Old School Dance Party Yes! You’re back! I think OPS would be a great fit for you. And Envoy is a great company because you get American benefits! So wonderful to hear this. Everything will work out for the best.
Email invitation, came today, for hiring event on next Wed. I just sent the resume, last Friday. The email stated, to bring ID's, if hired for badging. I figured there'd be less red-tape with the regional subsidiary. Even though the pay is low, the flight bennies are a trade-off and I'll get my foot-in-the-door for AA. They also codeshare with British Airways, and I'd like to fly to the UK on them, for a change.
SingMotown Karaoke Revue & Old School Dance Party wow, you literally waste no time! Good for you. Prayers that you get this. You’ve got this. And now you’ll have access to great benefits. Let me know how it goes!
Believe THIS - DIDN'T get the job for a Ground Control Agent! Was advised to reapply for the Ramp!!!! - I'll do it, put in a couple months to make money to ship my DJ equipment to England (via employee discount) and I'm off to start life anew in the U.K. with my wife! 4 year college degree is doing me no justice. I'm typecasted for the RAMP! SMH!!!
SingMotown Karaoke Revue & Old School Dance Party oh my goodness! You are way too qualified. Maybe they were intimidated. Well it sounds like you have great plans. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Wow, very good and fluent presentation, easy to understand and very helpful, even five years later. Thanks
Thank you!!!!
Glad I found you. Great information. I work PT for Marriott. If I can get a PT job at an airline, I think I would be set -big time. thanks
Colin Blake That would be the perfect combo. I had a coworker who worked @ Hilton and the airline. It worked out great for them. I wish you the best!!

@@TheBohemianTraveler Thanks
when you were with AA, do you get miles credit to you advantage account if you are flying for free?
No, we don’t. But I know some people use their credit cards for purchases so that they have extra miles to purchase confirmed tickets if they need to.
@@TheBohemianTraveler Great Idea. OK got it !!!
Is that MyID Travel vs. ID90?
Do they usually take from your check the fee of can the people I put down at for the fee?
I don’t fully understand your question. 🧐
How can I apply to be a ramp agent I leave in Phoenix
Fatma Houston I’d go on indeed.com and search “ramp agent” in Phoenix. Or go to each airline and search under open positions.
Can you book business class or it's only economy? Thanks
Mukhtar Jibril Yes you can! If there is space, you can get it.
How long do you have to be with them in order to get the travel benefits? Thanks for the insight
Mukhtar Jibril For my last two airlines it took about a week.
Thank you so much
Great video. I was wondering by what is considered a family member who can fly for free ?
Every airline is different. But it is the spouse, the children, and the parents and/or step parents. With my one airline, I was able to enroll my sister as well as an an enrolled friend. At my new airline, I am able to have two parents and/or parents in law.
@@TheBohemianTraveler thank you so much for the explanation I enjoy watching your videos
When do you book your hotel?
Right when I land. I get the rental car and the hotel as I get off the plane.
So how long do you have to be a ramp agent to usually see these benefits?
we get it the first day of training .
Well, every airlines have different policy, like Aircanada it’s for 6 months
Me I have 3 kids waiting on fingers print come back got my flight info for training on 08/09/22 I at Bos so there have many fight JetBlue
That’s so cool. Your kids are going to love being able to travel the world.
@@TheBohemianTraveler yea cause I been paying for flight though hole covld 19 I have 8000 in point with JetBlue now I be fly for free
How long does it take before you get your fly benefits is during training or after your probation period then you get to use them
Can you work per diem and do you still get flights benefits when you work per diem?
Nat. lab. Ready reserve is what I know about, and yes, you still get flight benefits.
Thank you

When you say have a back up flight do you mean book yourself for 2 flights just in case?
Ebony Waddell Yes! Exactly! I may not book it, but I note and write down all the flights we can take in case we don’t make the first one.
With this perk can I get 3 seats together with my family or at less a parent with a child?

ThatGirlSMOKEY SLUG thank you so much! You too!.
What happened if you're sister has kids and her husband
You can give them buddy passes. But at my airline, buddy passes are expensive and not worth it.

Thank you for the tips! Very, VERY useful videos👍
soa amana thank you so much! I appreciate that.
soa amana thank you! That's very kind of you.
Hey quick question if you are still working as a Ramp Agent. How about if you are single? Can you have a travel companion that gets the same benefits as Spouses would get. Since you are not married. In my case it would be my girlfriend.
For Delta
Josue Recio Yes that’s exactly how it works. You can pick someone in place of a spouse.
@@TheBohemianTraveler I see!! Thanks for responding.
are you not able to say which airline you work for? is that against rules or something?
rekiya miller Great question. I don't think I'm able to say which airline because I don't officially represent the company. I don't want to get in trouble.
The Bohemian Traveler how do I apply to the company you work for?
Hmm.....San Francisco...houston....lax...united worker
Wow
Well, I'm BACK! Last night I decided to submit an application for Envoy (AA's Regional) Airlines, when I saw that they get the same flight privileges as AA. I'm applying for Ops Agent, instead of the Ramp, this time! I had my interview with Chase Bank, two weeks ago and STILL haven't gotten a yay or nay. Job hunting at 55+ is no joke! I'm trying this, one mo' 'gain - for the flight privileges! AA codes shares with British Airways, so that would be "perfect!"
SingMotown Karaoke Revue & Old School Dance Party Yes! You’re back! I think OPS would be a great fit for you. And Envoy is a great company because you get American benefits! So wonderful to hear this. Everything will work out for the best.
Email invitation, came today, for hiring event on next Wed. I just sent the resume, last Friday. The email stated, to bring ID's, if hired for badging. I figured there'd be less red-tape with the regional subsidiary. Even though the pay is low, the flight bennies are a trade-off and I'll get my foot-in-the-door for AA. They also codeshare with British Airways, and I'd like to fly to the UK on them, for a change.
SingMotown Karaoke Revue & Old School Dance Party wow, you literally waste no time! Good for you. Prayers that you get this. You’ve got this. And now you’ll have access to great benefits. Let me know how it goes!
Believe THIS - DIDN'T get the job for a Ground Control Agent! Was advised to reapply for the Ramp!!!! - I'll do it, put in a couple months to make money to ship my DJ equipment to England (via employee discount) and I'm off to start life anew in the U.K. with my wife! 4 year college degree is doing me no justice. I'm typecasted for the RAMP! SMH!!!
SingMotown Karaoke Revue & Old School Dance Party oh my goodness! You are way too qualified. Maybe they were intimidated. Well it sounds like you have great plans. Keep doing what you’re doing!
You reminds me of my stepmother
Lol. I bet she’s amazing. 😂
Dead give away its United lol
