Crew hotel discounts and layover perks, which chains actually give crew rates?
-
#1 I keep hearing about crew discounts on hotels, gyms and restaurants. Which ones are real and how do you access them?
-
#2 The real ones: airline crew rates at the contracted crew hotels when you extend your stay privately, several chains with an "airline crew" rate on their booking site (ID required), gym day passes negotiated at crew hotels, and local restaurant deals that the purser knows. The discounts page on this site lists a good number. Always ask at the crew hotel reception, they know every deal in the city.

#3 And staff travel on your own airline for positioning to a layover city on days off. That's the biggest perk of all.
