Discount Airfares Set for Troops Taking Leave from Iraq

WASHINGTON, October 8, 2003 -- Service members and eligible Department of Defense civilians leaving Iraq for a little "rest and recuperation" can purchase discounted non-restricted tickets for their travel home through an office set up in Kuwait.

Currently the R&R program provides free transportation to Frankfurt, Germany and Baltimore-Washington Airport, Md. Other destinations in Europe and the United States may soon be added.

Service members enter leave status at midnight on the day they arrive at Frankfurt or BWI and then pay all expenses associated with any further travel. To help ease the financial burden on those eligible to participate in the program, the U.S. Army Community and Family Support Center has arranged travel services for R&R participants in cooperation with SatoTravel, a commercial travel agency.

A ticket sales office at the processing center in Kuwait sells airline tickets for further travel in the United States for those requesting them.

According to Dan Yount, CFSC's chief of Army leisure travel services, most U.S. carriers, including American, Continental, Delta, Midwest, Southwest, United, Northwest and US Airways, have announced special rates and waivers in support of the R&R program.

Those traveling on R&R leave orders automatically qualify for unrestricted tickets. This means R&R travelers can change their itineraries with no re-booking or re-routing restrictions and without paying extra charges.

Yount cautioned that not every traveler will be able to purchase the lowest R&R fares.

"In every plane load, some seats are usually made available at the special R&R rate. Once all special-rate seats have been allocated to R&R travelers, the travel agency at Camp Champion, Kuwait, will offer participants the best available fare at the time of ticketing. Unfortunately, the limited number of seats available at the R&R rate means some R&R travelers may pay a higher price.

Yount emphasized that purchasing travel tickets through the SatoTravel office in Kuwait is the only risk-free way to ensure that there won't be any fare penalties if travel plans change.

"They will be purchasing tickets through an agency that has received special waivers allowing service members to make a flight change without paying a penalty," Yount said.

Yount counsels R&R participants and families against booking a flight for R&R travel home through online travel services, which offer discount fares but also come with heavy restrictions: changes are either not allowed or come with heavy financial penalties, and such tickets don't qualify for refunds.

"It's a substantial risk. The value of online ticketing is based on when you are in control of your own travel schedule," Yount said. "R&R is bound by regulation and participants in the R&R program are not in control of when they will travel. Just one misunderstanding can cause the voiding of the entire investment in an airline ticket."

The unrestricted round-trip fares offered by the carriers participating in the R&R program have been running less than $500, Yount said, citing one example of a BWI to Nashville roundtrip fare of $189.

"The tickets are reasonable because we are working with the airlines and we have motivated travel agents that have a good relationship with the service members. They're working their hardest to get them the very best fares they can," said Yount. "The value to the program is they won't find a better price with the assurance that changes in travel can be made without penalty."

Army leisure travel services is a program of the U.S. Army Community and Family Support Center in Alexandria, Va., the headquarters Department of the Army agency responsible for morale, welfare and recreation.
