In addition, American is reducing the minimum stay requirement on its discounted military fares from Saturday night to only one night, making it even easier for military personnel and their families to qualify for a reduced fare.
“U.S. servicemen and women, and their families continue to make enormous sacrifices to promote the causes of freedom and security,” said Dan Garton, American’s Executive Vice President of Marketing. “We appreciate all they are doing, and hope these special offers help in bringing military families together with loved ones.”
American is now allowing travel on these special fares through July 18, 2018, (except Europe, Latin America and Japan, where travel is valid through May 31, 2018). Active-duty members of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy, National Guard and Reserves who are on leave or furlough (including those who are traveling within seven days of discharge from active service), and their spouse and dependent children are eligible for these fares. The special military fares are available for travel to domestic and various international destinations.
Travel arrangements can be made at American Airlines ticketing locations or by calling American’s reservations number at 1-800-433-7300 (en Espanol 1-800-633-3711) within the United States and Canada. Outside the United States and Canada, call the local reservations number. The military ID must be presented at the time of airport check-in. These military fares are not available via the Internet. Other restrictions apply. For complete rules and restrictions, see the terms and conditions below.
Along with the special fares, American is also inviting uniformed military personnel to pre-board with First-Class passengers, or at any time during the boarding process. The boarding announcements were modified nearly a year ago and American plans to continue this service as a thank you to U.S. troops.
In addition, U.S. military men and women who are participating in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom are welcome to be American’s guests at Admirals Club facilities worldwide between flights when they are on emergency or Rest and Relaxation (R&R;) leave from their overseas duties. This invitation for complimentary access has been extended through June 5, 2018, at all airport locations that do not have USO facilities. Eligible military personnel in appropriate uniform need only present their emergency or R&R; leave forms from Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom to access an Admirals Club location.
Customers of American will find exceptional service both on the ground and in the air. In addition, First or Business Class seating is available throughout American’s fleet. Also available on most of the fleet are large overhead storage bins that allow carry-on luggage to be stored “wheels first,” creating more overall storage space and making it easier to stow and remove bags.
For those who like to “stay connected” during their trip, power ports are located at each seat in the First or Business Class cabins and are conveniently placed throughout the coach cabins on most of American’s aircraft, so passengers can work en route, operate their own CD or DVD players, or even recharge cell phones.
Customers on American also have the opportunity to earn and redeem AAdvantageŽ travel reward miles — all of which combine to make travel on American an exceptional value.
