Notice of Availability of Airfare Discounts to Governmental Entities Airline Antitrust Settlement - Availability of Airfare Discount

Last summer, 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 applies to
domestic travel on participating airlines and commuter carriers for
any approved, official University travel.

This is to remind you that this discount will be available for
your use until February 9, 1997 or until total discounts to
eligible governmental entities of $40 million has been
reached, whichever occurs first.

Application of this discount represents one of the lowest possible
airfares that UCSD travelers will be able to obtain. It appears that
many travel agencies are not advising UCSD travelers on the
availability of this discount.

For complete details, please refer to the Disbursement's Home Page,
Travel Section:

  http://www-bfs.ucsd.edu/dis/travel/discount.htm

Please read the terms of the settlement before attempting to
use the discount and be advised that use of this discount
for travel other than for official university business may
constitute fraud and will be prosecuted to the extent allowed
by law.

It is recommended that you purchase these tickets through a
travel agent. The agent must enter special codes to apply
the discount to your ticket. You may use any local travel agent if
you intend to apply this discount to your flight (you might refer them
to the WWW Home Page for complete guidelines).

You may also contact UCSD's preferred travel agency, Balboa Travel
Services, who will automatically apply this discount to qualified
travel:
