Air Courier Information Please

[Rhoel 2]

Last year on the old board, someone posted a URL for an air courier information site ... and I cannot find the site or the paper with the address.

 

Does anyone have any good insider information or URLs which point to same?

 

TIA.

I'm back on line again after being without comms for 3 months - life without the net is a terrible place

Thanx Hubs, I am looking at joining one of the courier lists so that I can get out to LOS sooner, rather than later - I heard of others using this method so they could have 2/3 trips each year. I have just started my own express delivery [road] company and having the air side might be a positve thing.

 

BTW, I'm based just 12 minutes from Cardiff International Airport - unfortunately, the BA courier flights are from Heathrow. That was why I hoped someone have better/more practical experience of air-couriering to LOS to help avoid any potential pitfalls.

 

I'll check out the URL.

 

Thx again.

Rhoel,

I've done the courier trip with BA a couple of years back and it is quite easy. It was £300 for a 14nt R/T and you just check in at the desk they tell you and they gave me a bundle of documents to hand in at Bangkok and I had a normal baggage allowance. On the return it was the same and that's all there was to it, obviously the ticket was fixed date and I had to wear a shirt and trousers and not dress like a scruff.

But for the saving on the ticket it was well worth it and I'd certainly do it again.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.
