Is it true that with a Seaman's book you travel cheap?
Once in a while I see people getting priority in airport queues when they show their Seaman's book, which is a record of their shipping career. I also was told on different occasions that people flying on a Seaman's book get better fares on one-way trips. Is this true, or is it one of those urban legends?
