Do you qualify?
If you are in doubt whether or not you qualify for marine and offshore airfares, use the following rule:
In all cases, people traveling on a marine or offshore air ticket MUST be traveling to/from or in connection with work on a commercial vessel such as cargo or container, LNG, chemical, tanker, deepwater exploration, offshore installation or an associated construction or support project. Failure to produce proper documentation may result in denied boarding by the airline.
Airline Policy
As it is a privilege that the airlines extend offshore airfares to workers in this specialized industry, we need to ensure that everyone using offshore fares and the associated benefits qualify. Therefore, we follow the airlines’ policies closely and advise our travelers to carry proof that they are indeed traveling for work purposes. Employees must carry documentation of eligibility in the form of a written letter detailing the reason for their travel. You may be asked to produce this documentation during check-in at the airport.
