Q. What does an air courier do?

A. An air courier accompanies time-sensitive business cargo that is checked as excess passenger baggage on international flights by air cargo companies. This is how a majority of overnight international mail and parcels get to foreign countries. So air freight shipments are sent as "passenger baggage" and air couriers are the "passengers"; buying the passenger ticket for dramatically less than the published price.


Q. Must I fly as an air courier to get great savings?

A. No. Our members take advantage of vast airfare discounts. Some fly as couriers but most do not. Members can fly with friends and family and are not required to be a courier. Here are the various ways members can take advantage of tremendous savings.

Q. Is there any chance of being caught with an illegal shipment checked as my baggage when flying as an air courier?

A. Absolutely not. Courier freight companies have been in business for many years and are well known by customs officials. All shipments are inspected and x-rayed before departure. In fact, if you fly as a courier, you are never allowed to handle the air freight shipment. The entire operation is aboveboard. Our member just carries the paperwork.


Q. How do I get started and begin to cash in on these huge travel discounts?

A. Join the Association. We are member-supported. Your initiation fee and annual dues are used to provide you with the schedules, updates and services you need to take advantage of the buying power of the association.
