USFA travel discounts?

[Bugaboo]

Has anyone taken advantage of the USFA related air travel discount? I forget which airline is supposed to offer a percentage savings on USFA events, but I was wondering if it's really worth anything.

The airline is United. Get in touch with their events line, tell them which tournament you are going to, and you should receive 25% off.

The place to call is United's Olympic Travel Desk-- the number's on the back of your USFA membership card.

You should still also check online with Travelocity and the like to see what other airlines have. You may well find a price that beats even what United with the discount offers, and there are times when United doesn't offer a direct flight-- for example, in '99 I found a USAir direct flight to Charlotte for less than what United offered, and all of United's flights were indirect.
