Air CourierDo you want to give up your checked baggage allowances in exchange for a greater discount flight? Are you an adventurous flexible traveler who would like a bargain ticket but don't like to give up the airline's mileage benefits? Do you travel alone? If the answer is yes, air courier could be your option. Flying as a air courier is probably the cheapest way to travel, especially to a foreign destination (An opportunity to fly as a courier for domestic destinations is extremely rare). Typical discount rate is about a half or more of the other cheap tickets. What is a courier and how does it work? Many businesses need to send packages to major cities around the world. Many of these business cargos are just too important and time-sensitive. It is the best of the company's interest if they are carried by a person, a courier. Courier companies will use the checked baggage allowance, which you give up, to send their business client's important stuffs such as business documents. Courier companies handle these procedures in a professional way so that you do not physically carry their cargo. All you need to carry is the paper works. Here is the typical procedure.
After you hand over the paper works to the company's representative, your responsibilities as a courier is over and you are on your own. All most all cases the tickets you receive are for round-trip with frequent-flier mileage benefits. Time that's allowed to stay in tour destination is typically 1-2 weeks and sometimes you would be required to do courier duty on your return trip as well. Courier flights to international destinations usually leave from major airports such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami. |
