Courier flights and Budget Airlines
You carry documents for a courier company in exchange for a reduced price ticket (for example, half-price). Companies are willing to pay for this service because it allows faster delivery. You meet a representative of the courier company on departure and arrival. You should check that you are not responsible for the contents of the package being carried. Never carry anything for somebody else unless you are using an official courier scheme; you do not wish to be found carrying drugs or illegal material of some sort.
