SUBJECT: Notice of Availability of Airfare Discounts to
Governmental Entities Airline Antitrust Settlement - Availability of Airfare Discount
On June 20, a notice was transmitted to the campus explaining that as a result of the settlement of the class action antitrust suit against the Airline Tariff Publishing Company on behalf of government travelers, a ten percent
(10%) discount on airfare was available. This discount applied to domestic travel on participating airlines and commuter carriers for any approved, official University travel.
This discount was to be available for your use until February 9, 1997 or until total discounts to eligible governmental entities of $40 million has been reached, whichever occurred first. This is to advise you that we have been notified by the Office of the President that the $40 million limit has been reached.
Therefore; effective today, August 19, 1996, the discount is no longer available. Please view the Travel Home Page during the next few weeks for any new agreements and reduced fares that might be offered: http://www-bfs.ucsd.edu/dis/travel/.
You may also contact the Travel Office E-Mail Box "travel@UCSD" if you have any questions or require additional information.
