Air Fares for Active Troops:

Our military is not "flying free" as most Americans believe. As a majority of the airlines do not provide discount fares for the military, the men and women actively serving our country are paying for their own flights home during leave and - in many instances - are paying higher fares than most of the public. The reason for this is that they are unable to book their tickets in advance as their leaves are not always granted 21, 14, nor 7 days in advance. Please sign the Military Airfare Reduction petition to ask the government and 11 major airlines to provide military discounts to those on active duty. Many are unable to fly home because of the inability to afford the airline rates.


Please sign this petition in the hopes of showing our military who serve in place of those of us who will not fight our appreciation for their service and dedication.
