Dress code
Tradewind participates in the DRESS TO IMPRESS non-rev initiative. Please DRESS to IMPRESS your fellow airline staff & customers. Non-revenue travelers are expected to dress in business casual, not necessarily Sunday best, but try to blend in if you can. No flip flops, board shorts with t shirt, etc. Your clothing should be free of odor & tears. Dress to Impress also means no spaghetti string tops for women, no swimwear, and no yoga-type pants and outfits. Cargo shorts with a collard shirt are acceptable in the Caribbean network for men, while slacks/cargo pants/khakis are fitting for the Northeast operation. T shirts are only acceptable if worn with a vest/cardigan/fleece.
Please remove airline lanyards from your neck and/or person as to not draw attention to you. Our planes are fairly small and conversations can carry - passengers are always inquisitive of our business and it is easy to ease drop in on others discussions. You may NOT wear any airline attire while waiting for flights in our San Juan lounge, but you are welcome to partake of any beverages or snacks available to you.

Y will be the number of seats NOT sold).
Confirm travel, when offered, is available up to 60 days before departure. Confirm travel must be cancelled within 24 hours of travel otherwise the fare is nonrefundable.

Seating will be based on body weight for proper weight and balance of the aircraft.
Jumpseat
Most of our flights operate with a two-person crew, but in the event there is a single pilot operation, we are not able to transport a non-TJ flight member in the FO seat if there are 9 passengers on board the aircraft. Jumpseaters are welcome to non-rev on TJ as long as a cabin seat is available. Please remove all forms of airline-identification if you can, unless you are traveling in uniform.
