What is courier travel?
Courier companies often find that shipping material in the luggage space of an aircraft passenger is more reliable, timely, and economical than sending the shipment unaccompanied because it allows the shipment to bypass many of the typical customs delays. The courier company begins by purchasing a coach class airfare. They then resell the ticket to you and, in exchange for your luggage space, give you a discount on the airfare. The courier company uses your luggage space for the material it is shipping.

Are there any other limitations to courier travel?
Aside from having an adventurous spirit, you must be at least 18 years of age to fly as a freelance courier. Because courier companies use only one courier per flight, you must also be willing to travel alone. Occasionally, if you are trying to travel with a companion, a courier company may be able to arrange for flights on consecutive days. Of course, you always have the option of buying one ticket at standard fare.

How much will I save traveling as a courier agent?
Your will find that prices for courier flights change often. Typically you will pay between 25% and 50% off the standard ticket price. However, those who travel at a moment's notice may get discounts up to 85% off standard fare -- some have even flown free! Courier airfares, as is the case with all airfares, fluctuate with the season and the demand for the particular destination.

• Flying as a courier is a relatively simple process. In fact, the greatest barrier preventing people from flying as couriers is lack of information about courier opportunities. The Air Courier List fills that gap by providing a geographically arranged guide to air courier companies that use the services of freelance couriers like you.

• Rather than spend a lot of money on Air Courier Information Providers, which often provide untimely information and put you in competition with all their other members for courier positions, you will find that the best courier deals will be found by contacting your local courier companies directly. In this way you can discover courier opportunities before the information is released to these associations.

• Most gateway cities have a limited number of companies that use freelance couriers, so remaining in contact and informed of courier opportunities for your particular city is not a difficult task.

WE HAVE SUSPENDED SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT IT IS NOT PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT VALUE OR AIRFARE DISCOUNTS TO TRAVELERS. COURIER TRAVEL OPPORTUNITIES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SCARCE, BUT HAVE BECOME EVEN MORE LIMITED WITH DECREASED TRADE RESTRICTIONS, INCREASED SECURITY MEASURES, AND INCREASED COMPETITION IN THE INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT INDUSTRY.

WE WILL POST ANY UPDATES HERE IF THE SITUATION SHOULD CHANGE.

IN THE MEANTINE, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND:   AIRFARE SECRETS - DEEP DISCOUNT TRAVEL
