StaffTraveler Reviews

by SillyMacBoy

StaffTraveler has a great new design. Pretty easy to use the few times I actually get to use it.

Three stars lost though since I can never actually use it to enter loads. Since the new app was released, I’ve earned one credit. Since everyone’s notifications were turned on by default, there’s no chance to log on and answer what happened to have popped up, as I did all the time in the old version. And since I have a full and exciting life to live, I refuse to get what seems like tens of notifications per minute from StaffTraveler .

So it is a great looking app that is really crappy if you want to live your life and not be drowned in notifications.

Wholeheartedly disagree with your reply to the Bot issue. Even a casual observer can see it: something faster than a human is harvesting the incoming queries. Oftentimes the requests wont even display, and instead go straight to ‘being answered’. Moreover, the speed at which the answered are being provided is far too fast to be anything but artificial.

You can talk all day about signal strength, clock speeds and refresh rates, but it’s happening guys— and you can see on your end (if you wanted to) the imbalance by seeing which accounts are spiked with all the point gains.

It’s a shame because its a great idea— too bad the average joe can’t get in the game unless he spends his off days parked in front of a gaming computer and a T1 line. Hope you figure it out— Best of luck to you.

I’ve always loved the staff traveler app but since more and more people have joined, some problems arises. Since more and more people are competing to get flights to do loads for it’s been incredibly stressful. I usually try to click on the flight as soon they come up and it prompts me to enter the load. When I go to get the load and come back, within a few seconds it says “already loaded by another user” or wording similar to that.

Also, I feel that updates should be free if another user requests the same flight after you’ve done yours.

That’s all the update for now.

Last month I had to check lots of flight loads ( I was commuting to work and vacation with my family) apparently there is a limit to how many load you can request with in a certain amount of days. Even though I have plenty of coins ( over 65) I can’t request a load to check for a flight for 3 days! I think that is ridiculous! Other than it’s a really great apps and perfect fit and non-rev.

I think this is app is really well designed. The only thing I have an issue with is the pop up that lets you know you received a credit after answering a question. The pop up lasts like 5 seconds. By that time someone already has taken away the flight you could have answered lower the time or don’t show a pop up at all. If I answer a question I automatically know I’m getting a credit.

I think this is thee absolute best app for flt crew ever!!! It requires us to help each other, what a concept!!! This is the way we should operate! Just one suggestion, that there be a way to apply a multi-leg segment option when it’s time to find the flt info for crew. When someone Send a request and it’s time for u to load in the numbers, we can only submit the load for one flt but what if the requestee has a connecting flt there’s no space for us to enter info for their 2nd segment. We don’t always get to take nonstops. Also can u explain why when I’m answering a request, many times I will hit the request and it opens up as if I got it, but it will disappear seconds later saying someone else got it first. Then why would it open on my screen as if I got it? Otherwise I LOVE this app!!!!

This is probably the only app I can say has made travel measurably better in a way that nothing else could. Now I know which terminal to run to when the last flights of the day are all leaving. I’ve gotten home multiple times because of StaffTraveler and the community that constantly updates loads. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could!

by Unsatified Customer 010

I’ve never gotten loads so quickly, until StaffTraveler!! This makes non reving many times better. It takes away the stress of worrying about the loads.

It also gets addicting loading loads for other. Everything goes so quick and I love that. You earn 1 credit for helping provide loads per request and 1 credit used for your load request.

I used to wait around on Facebook groups for other airlines to answer my questions and while it worked, not every post got answered in time for my flights or to plan which flight to take. StaffTraveler is everything I needed. Will continue to tell all my coworkers about it.

by Alex_traveler

StaffTraveler is easy to use and self explanatory. The reply on requests depend on the other people and how fast they send the loads but once you start using it you will get an idea on which airlines tend to answer faster or (unfortunately for some of them) not at all.

The service of the developer when you submit feedback is very good and fast. They reply within hours or a maximum of one day when you submit an issue.

It helped me a lot during my non rev times!

by Gottagethome

I use StaffTraveler almost daily as I commute to work and home. Getting flight loads this easy was only a dream awhile ago.
Getting credits is very easy. Only 1 time did I not get an answer and was surprised to see I received my coin back the next day. This tells me they are monitoring the requests and replies which so many of us count on. Truly this is a must have tool for standby travel.

I am a flight attendant and StaffTraveler has been a saving grace! From time to time, I nonrev on other airlines and ID90 isn’t that helpful with determining passenger loads. We are all so helpful with submitting loads and you receive the feedback almost instantly. StaffTraveler is a must have if you want to know about the loads on other airlines. You also receive one credit per load that you submit.

by Faith Traveler

Airline loads change drastically within minutes and StaffTraveler is dependent on accessibility to up-to-the-minute loads.
I am grateful to the sacrifices of other airline employees taking time to help us.
I am very passionate when I am able to give loads to other airline employees.
StaffTraveler is amazing and such a blessing. I have no complaints but nothing but praise.
Thank you on behalf of every airline employee.

by Emmawayy

Great app. Able to get flight loads within minutes usually. Also nice that it searches flights based on city codes so you can look at other airlines and times at said airport. Wish there was a way to “lock” maybe 2-3 requests at a time because when the request pops up it is usually claimed within seconds and unless you’re sitting with StaffTraveler open you miss the opportunity to answer requests and earn credits for free.

I usually fly as non rev and StaffTraveler has been helping me so many times. I only think that it should be more disclosed, mostly US airlines are very easy to find out about loads but some central and South America airlines takes days and sometimes we don’t even get an answer.
I hope everyone get knowledge about StaffTraveler and getting information about being able to board or not gets easier and easier.

StaffTraveler is great for non rev travelers. Being in the industry we have friends all over in different companies and sometimes it can get annoying for either party to ask “hey can I get the loads”. Some times we are busy working and have to wait to give or get a response. So StaffTraveler allows us to get our loads on our own without the hassle of asking our friends. And I like that you get points by answering loads for other people. It’s super convenient! Love LOVE IT

I too, am not one to rate apps. But since downloading StaffTraveler and creating my account a month ago. It has been a huge help in helping decide which flights to book based on real time data from other users. It’s saves time, allows you to make an informative decision, and lessens the stress of traveling non-rev. You’re more likely to book a flight on another airline knowing how many seats are available and how many people are listed, StaffTraveler allows you to do just that. Awesome!!!!

by Rustynail03

Staff Traveler is the quick and easy way to search for flights and request flight loads. Staff Traveler uses a credit system. If you give a requested flight load to a fellow Staff Traveler user, you receive a credit to request a flight load from another airline. Because of this system, load requests are answered very quickly, unlike requesting loads through Facebook where your request may take a long time to be answered or not answered at all. This is a must have app for non-revenue traveling!

This is a great app for any airline employee who travels On ID tickets on other airlines. Few ideas: allow users to set times for notifications to avoid receive notifications in the middle of the night.
Enable alerts so when aircraft capacity is changed or flight is cancelled on a flight that we have requested load then we receive a notification about it.
Use existing data as analytics sources to provide certain trends information on flights load based on routes, season etc

by AAemp

This is so amazing for airline employees. You get answers almost immediately for the majority of requests. I love that you can answer other requests to earn credits so you don’t end up having to pay for credits. The only thing I’ve had issues with so far is that sometimes I type in a routing and it doesn’t pull anything up so I have to to do it individually from point A-B then B-C. Not sure why it does that sometimes but overall I love StaffTraveler.

by Beatowk

Only discovered StaffTraveler recently and used it right after for my ID travels. It works well and there are clearly a lot of ID travelers out there as flight information comes through pretty often and quickly when requested. I’ll definitely be using StaffTraveler often.
The suggestions offered by another reviewer are right on, as regards especially to notification due to aircraft change. All in all a good app. Glad I found it!

by J31Jock

Staff Traveler is by far the best app for finding out loads while traveling on a different airline than your own. I have used this in the US, Europe, and Asia with great success. Most responses of load requests happen within minutes. Getting an e-mail follow up with the loads is very helpful.

I wouldn’t travel non-rev without it. Thanks for a successful 2019 travel year!

I’ve used StaffTraveler in my recent trip to Bulgaria. It was very easy to use and I got on the two flights as I planned. I can’t help wondering, though, how accurate the loads are, considering it’s a race among the employees of an airline to be the first to respond to loads requests in order to earn credits. Do they make mistakes? Do they double check their answers before submitting the information?
