Coverage – Government contract schedules

With our Flight Search Tool you can access all Government contracted domestic and international flights and fares including both direct flight and connection options for your specified dates of travel. This includes both flights operated by the eight airlines that have been awarded Government contracts under the GSA City Pair Program as well as flights where these eight airlines are the marketing airline (codeshare flight) and the flight is operated by another airline.

We highlight in the flight results displayed to you when a flight is a codeshare flight and indicate to you who the actual operating airline is.

The eight airlines with Government contracts are – , Alaska Airlines, American Airlines Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue, Silver Airways, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines.

Mygovtrip constantly monitors the GSA City Pair Program Fares for updates and immediately incorporates any changes to provide you with the most current contract airfare rates. These are then highlighted with our Contracts Fares Logo alongside the flight listing on each flight results page . Please note that fares may differ for airports in the same city.

Description of Government contract fares awarded under the GSA City Pair Program

Description of Government contract fares awarded under the GSA City Pair Program

These are fares agreed with the eight appointed airlines for official government and military air travel at rates considerably lower than comparable commercial fares on thousands of domestic and international city pairs.

These fares are one-way and valid in either direction and with domestic fares all existing Federal, State, and local taxes and other fees and charges are included but exclude passenger facility charges, segment fees, and passenger security service fees.

For international fares estimated fuel surcharge fees are included but any applicable taxes and other fees are excluded.

The categories of contract fares are:

• Business Fare ( _CB )

  Business Fare ( _CB )

  A three-character code used to identify capacity-controlled Government contract business class fares. The first letter of the three-character fare basis code will vary by airline. No administrative fee/penalty shall apply for rebooking, re-ticketing, or cancellation. Domestic and international _CB fares may be subject to auto-cancellation of all un-ticketed reservations seven (7) calendar days prior to departure time and date and applies only to reservations booked eight (8) calendar days or more before departure. Reservations made seven (7) calendar days or less prior to departure time may be exempt and may require ticketing six (6) hours before departure at the carrier’s discretion.

• Premium Economy Fare ( _CP )

  Premium Economy Fare ( _CP )

  A three-character code used to identify capacity-controlled Government contract premium economy class fares. The first letter of the three-character fare basis code will vary by airline. No administrative fee/penalty shall apply for rebooking, re-ticketing, or cancellation. International _CP fares may be subject to auto-cancellation of all un-ticketed reservations seven (7) calendar days prior to departure time and date and applies only to reservations booked eight (8) calendar days or more before departure. Reservations made seven (7) calendar days or less prior to departure time may be exempt and may require ticketing six (6) hours before departure at the carrier’s discretion.

• Capacity-Controlled Fare ( _CA )

  Capacity-Controlled Fare ( _CA )

  A three-character code used to identify capacity-controlled coach class contract fares for Government contract carriers. _CA fares are lower in cost than the YCA Fare, with the same conditions (no administrative fee/penalty shall apply for rebooking, re-ticketing, or cancellation) except that _CA fares do not offer last seat (inventory) availability. The first letter of the three-character fare basis code will vary by airline, e.g., QCA, LCA, etc. Early booking increases the likelihood of reserving a _CA fare. Domestic, international, and fifth freedom of the air _CA fares may be subject to auto-cancellation of all un-ticketed reservations 48 hours prior to departure time and date.

• Unrestricted Coach Class Fare (YCA)

  Unrestricted Coach Class Fare (YCA)

  A three-letter code used to designate unrestricted coach class contract fares for Government contract carriers. “CA” means “contract award.” YCA fares are higher in cost than _CA fares, and offer last seat (inventory) availability (unless a flight is already sold out). No administrative fee/penalty shall apply for rebooking, re-ticketing, or cancellation. Domestic, international, and fifth freedom of the air YCA fares may be subject to auto-cancellation of all un-ticketed reservations 48 hours prior to departure time and date.
