Airlines
Offer Discounts to U.S.
Troops
BRAD FOSS
- Associated Press |
|
Major
airlines are offering
discounts to soldiers
and their families taking
advantage of the military's
new rest and relaxation
program, which has received
some criticism because
the last leg of soldiers'
vacations are not paid
for.
|
|
Under
the first major R&R
program since Vietnam,
the government pays for
flights from Iraq to Germany,
and then the United States,
at which point the troops
must pick up the tab for
any domestic travel.
|
|
Before
Delta Air Lines and Southwest
Airlines this weekend began
offering the troops special
fares requiring no advance
purchase, soldiers on vacation
with little notice were
faced with buying extremely
expensive last-minute fares. |
|
"What
family can afford to pay
$2,000 or more for a same-day
plane ticket?" said
Sherry Billups of Blackduck,
Minn., whose husband Steven
Baazard is a 15-year veteran
of the National Guard.
|
|
Under
the terms of the discounts
offered by Delta and Southwest,
no advance purchase or minimum
stay is required and fares
are refundable. American
Airlines, which had been
offering soldiers discounts
on 3-day advance purchase
tickets since May, updated
its policy Monday to match
its competitors. |
|
Northwest
Airlines on Monday said
it matched the three-day
advance purchase deals
being offered by American.
|
|
All
the carriers are offering
roundtrip fares in the
continental United States
to soldiers and their
dependents that cost less
than $200.
