Rare iamaqt2 Posted March 18, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Not that I'm aware of. I'm seeing them listed on my interline site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airlink diva Posted March 18, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Did Holland America Stop Offering Interline Rates!?:confused: Hi! I work for a regional airline and receive weekly e-mails from a well known interline agency. I noticed that the past few months that Holland America have fewer and fewer rates. The rates that they do offer are often on the longer cruises and not the shorter ones. When a HAL sailing is offered, it's often only inside cabins. But I noticed that often by researching, you can find matching or lower rates than the interline at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob brown Posted March 18, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Probably less than before, as bookings and rates in general have risen noticeably this year, compared to the last couple. As always, you can sometimes get the best rates if you are flexible enough to wait until the last couple of weeks before departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpinstein Posted March 18, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 18, 2010 What are interline rates, and where do you find them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YXU AC*SE Posted March 18, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Interline discounts are segregated discounts to pax who are (or in some cases retired) employees of a domestic or international commercial passenger airline. Employees of other cruise lines, Amtrak, Federal Express, DHL, United Parcel Service (UPS), Astar Air Cargo, Worldspan, Sabre, Galileo/Apollo, Amadeus, and members of the Airline Pilots' Association (ALPA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), International Airlines Travel Agent Network (IATAN) and National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) may also be eligible. To prove eligibility, you are required to submit / show your employee ID at time of booking and/or at the pier upon boarding. Google "interline" and you will see a list of agencies. Scott.

bob brown Posted March 18, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 18, 2010 What are interline rates, and where do you find them? Generally, it is for employees/retirees of airlines that are eligible for free non-revenue, space available travel on their own lines, and deeply reduced non revenue, space available travel on other airlines that have a reciprical agreement for same, hence the name "interline". It is the best perk that airline employment provides, and is a useful recruiting tool for otherwise lower paying positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraic Posted March 18, 2010 #9 Share Posted March 18, 2010 In addition to employees and retirees, parents and children of employees are also eligible. In some cases siblings are also eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
