What does “rely on class” mean in air transportation?

/in /by

1. What is relying on class?

As we know, general cargo air freight rates are usually divided into m, N and Q levels, of which Q level is divided into 45, 100, 300, 500, 1000 and other levels – the larger the weight, the cheaper the rate.

Grade dependency means that when the freight of a batch of goods is calculated according to the rates of different weight grades, if the freight calculated by the higher weight is lower than the freight calculated by the “actual” weight, the freight is calculated according to the lowest weight of the higher level and its rate.

2. How to calculate the dependency level?

If 45-10 yuan / kg; 100-9 yuan / kg; 300-8 yuan / kg… I have one ticket of goods, and the actual billing weight is 98 kg.

Then: the freight calculated by the “actual” weight (98kg) and its rate (10 yuan / kg) = 98kgx10 = 980 yuan. Because 98kg is close to 100, try to use “grade” (100kg) and its rate (9 yuan / kg), and the calculated grade freight = 100kg * 9 = 900 yuan.

Obviously, the freight calculated by “level” is 900 yuan, which is lower than the freight calculated by “actual” weight and its rate of 980 yuan – it can be seen that the freight calculated by “level” is cheaper.

Therefore, when the airline allows “grade dependence”, the cargo can be “grade dependence” – only 900 yuan needs to be paid to the airline. If the airline does not allow to rely on the level, there is no way. It can only be charged according to the “actual” weight level and pay the airline 980 yuan.

3. When should I rely on grade?

When the two conditions are met at the same time, it should rely on the level.

First, it is more cost-effective to rely on the level; Second, airlines are allowed to rely on class. Both conditions are indispensable.

First, whether it is cost-effective to rely on the level is known only after calculation and comparison. When the airline allows to rely on the level and the billing weight is close to the higher weight level, it’s best to calculate. In case the level is cheaper, it depends on the level.

Second, not all airlines accept class.

① Major world routes

1. North Atlantic route: Western Europe (Rotterdam, Hamburg, London, Copenhagen, St. Petersburg); Stockholm and Oslo in northern Europe — North Atlantic — east coast of North America (New York, Quebec, etc.), South Coast (New Orleans port, via Florida Strait).

2. Asia Europe route (Suez Canal route): East Asia (Yokohama, Shanghai, Hong Kong and other ports, via Taiwan, Bashi Strait, etc.), Southeast Asia (Singapore, Manila, etc.), Malacca Strait, Indian Ocean (South Asia, Colombo, Mumbai, Calcutta Karachi, etc.) — Mander Strait (Aden) — Red Sea — Suez Canal (Alexandria) — Mediterranean (Tunisia, Genoa) — Gibraltar Strait — English (Dover) Strait — Western European countries.

3. Cape of good hope route: West Asia (Abadan, etc., via the Strait of Hormuz), East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia – Indian Ocean – East Africa (Dar es Salaam) – Mozambique Strait – Cape of good hope (Cape Town) – Atlantic – West Africa (Dakar) – Western Europe. Large ships with a payload of more than 250000 tons cannot pass through the Suez Canal and need to bypass the Cape of good hope at the southern end of Africa.

4. North Pacific route: East and Southeast Asia – Pacific – west coast of North America (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Seattle, etc.) is an international trade route between Asia and North American countries. With the economic development of East Asia, the trade volume on this route is increasing. These four routes are the busiest routes in the world, the North Atlantic route is the busiest maritime transportation route in the world, and the Cape of good hope route is the route with the largest oil transportation volume, which is known as the “maritime lifeline” of western countries.

5. Panama Canal route: the east coast of North America – Panama Canal (Panama City) – ports on the west coast of North America are a shortcut to connect the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, which is of great significance to the connection between the East and west coasts of the United States.

6. South Pacific route: the passage between countries in the Asia Pacific region (Sydney, Wellington) – the Pacific (Honolulu) – the west coast of South America (Lima, Valparaiso, etc.).
