How to Earn $2,000+ Monthly as a Travel Courier

The Courier Lifestyle

Imagine getting paid to travel. That's exactly what professional hand carrier couriers do. Working as an On Board Courier (OBC) lets you earn while seeing the world. But how do the top earners on OnFlyGo consistently make $2,000 or more each month?

Strategy 1: Focus on High-Value Routes

Not all routes are created equal. The most lucrative corridors include:

  • Mexico City - Frankfurt: $350-500 per delivery
  • Miami - Mexico City: $150-250 per delivery
  • New York - Paris: $250-400 per delivery
  • Los Angeles - Munich: $300-450 per delivery

Strategy 2: Build Repeat Client Relationships

Our top couriers report that 60% of their deliveries come from repeat clients. How to build these relationships:

  1. Exceed expectations on every delivery
  2. Communicate proactively about status
  3. Be flexible with pickup times
  4. Offer priority to previous clients

Strategy 3: Stack Deliveries

When possible, carry multiple packages on the same route:

  • One courier carried 3 packages MEX-FRA, earning $1,100 on a single trip
  • Another regularly combines 2 packages on MIA-MEX route for $400-500

Strategy 4: Leverage OnFlyGo Benefits

Your membership includes:

  • Free eSIM: Save $50-100 per trip on roaming
  • Hotel discounts: Up to 40% off at 500,000+ hotels
  • Insurance coverage: Peace of mind on every delivery
