Government Executive: The General Services Administration on Thursday announced that it has finalized contracts with seven major U.S. air carriers that will provide discounted tickets to federal employees on official travel next year.
The newly negotiated contracts for the City Pairs program will save the government $2.35 billion in fiscal 2016, GSA said. The program saves money by setting a fixed price for tickets up front, which is 52 percent lower than the price for comparable commercial airline tickets. The program also gives federal employees more flexibility in how they book their business trips, by eliminating added costs such as cancellation or change fees.
