Military Flight Booking and Discounts
Active-duty, reserve, and veteran travelers: an agent checks military fares and bag allowances on every airline and books leave, PCS, and family travel. 24/7.
Most US airlines waive checked bag fees for active-duty members, often for several bags when traveling on orders, and several offer discounted or more flexible fares for military travel. The rules vary by carrier and by whether travel is official or personal.
Agents know which airline is most generous on your route and will also handle last-minute leave travel and PCS moves with extra baggage.
The waivers depend on the details: whether you are active duty, traveling on orders, or moving a household, and whether dependents are covered varies by airline. An agent knows which carrier is most generous on your route, handles the extra baggage a PCS move brings, and can book last-minute leave travel at the most flexible fare available.
