    Bigger Airfare Discounts for the Military? Tell me what YOU think.

    Filed under: Airfares, Airlines — Rick Seaney @ 2:15 pm

    Saw this thought-provoking article in the Buffalo News; it was written by a young woman asking that military personnel get bigger discounts on airfare.

    The author focused on her own fiance (stationed in the U.S); she said, he gets just a day or so notice for leave, and receives only a 5 to 10% discount off his last minute fare (which we all know is still very expensive).

    She says, we ask a lot of the military; we “boldly ask them to not only lay down their lives, but also their wallets.”

    I did a quick and highly unscientific search and found United has some good deals for the military and American says it “may offer Military Fares in some markets.”

    Readers? Airline execs? Please send me your comments.
