Enclosed please find links to the GSA Fly America Act and Code Share fact sheet. * For eligible flights with US-flagged carriers, we suggest you book flights directly from USA airlines, e.g., United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Hawaii Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, etc. Even if the flights are operated by a foreign airline (e.g., Air Canada), it is still eligible as long as you book the flights from USA airlines. However, it may not be eligible if you book a flight from travel agencies (e.g., priceline).
