This is a stressful time for military service members with separations from family and friends on the increase. Military travel discounts can help make travel arrangements more affordable, and there are companies and organizations out there that want to help. Major air carriers have special programs in place and there are organizations out there that can help as well.
Operation Hero Miles - Operation Hero Miles serves as a clearinghouse for information for members of the military, their families, Members of Congress, the airlines, and frequent flyers who wish to donate miles. The web site was started by Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger. Operation Hero Miles communicates information to the American public, the troops and their families about the airline donation programs so these soldiers can see their families and loved ones as soon as possible.
ArmyMWR Travel Page - Great Travel Deals. This site, developed by the U.S. Army Community & Family Support Center exclusively for authorized MWR patrons, has links to Internet fare finders and travel providers (air, cruise, rail, car) as well as tips on how to get the best fare by searching the web or being flexible about travel dates.
Military Living - Military families often have it rough. Military Living boosts their morale with numerous publications on special military travel benefits of space-available hops and lodging. Military Living is the largest publisher of military maps, atlases and military travel books, with R & R Travel News as well as Discount Travel, Useful Travel Tips, military lodging links and RV camping.

Resx Web Based Travel System

C. Airline flights, hotel, and car rental availability information is compiled and provided by SABRE. The traveler makes their selection from the options presented in RESX. Reservation elements are: travel date and time, departure and arrival city, form of payment, seating/meal/rental car/hotel preferences, frequent flyer numbers, special accommodations. To login, the traveler will enter the agency name, their login (same as TRAS), and password.
RESX will contain the same data elements as the old system FEDTRIP. The existing FEDTRIP data elements will migrate to RESX intact. With FEDTRIP, there was an initial upload of employee identifying elements from the IRS Travel Reimbursement and Accounting System (TRAS). The employee’s name and login were captured in a flat file and then uploaded. This ensured name consistency in both systems. That was a one-time only action. Users are added/deleted on RESX at the same time they are added/deleted on TRAS; accomplished through an FTP download from the IRS Charlotte Development Center (CDC) to TRX.Â
RESX uses no other source to secure the employee data. There is no match with our personnel system. Since this information comes voluntarily from the traveler, it is presumed to be reliable and no other source to verify the data is necessary.
AWSS Travel Security Administrators will have access to employee records for the purpose of adding or deleting users, resetting passwords, authorizing travel planners to make travel arrangements on another person’s behalf, or changing group profiles.
No. RESX does not use persistent cookies.  Earlier versions used session and/or transaction cookies to confirm identity and finalize travel arrangements for the employee. In the release of version 1.2.26, the code was changed to remove those cookies from RESX.

Corporate Deals Fuel Sato Expansion

In May, Arlington-based SatoTravel added 30,000 square feet of additional space to its reservations center near Dulles International Airport. The extra room was needed for its burgeoning work force -- grown from 25 to some 300 people -- hired to service new corporate contracts. Also in May, the company signed its most recent corporate account -- a multimillion contract with IBM to provide group air service planning.
SatoTravel's success in the corporate market comes at a time when many travel agencies have been gasping to survive under the weight of caps on air-fare commissions imposed by major carriers in February 1995. The caps limit agency commissions to $50 on domestic flights. Before the caps were in place, agents earned slightly more than 9 percent of an air fare's face value.
But because of SatoTravel's ties to the airline industry, the company is effectively exempt from the caps; the airlines pay SatoTravel the equivalent of 8.99 percent commission on each domestic ticket it sells. SatoTravel is owned by Alaska Airlines, Aloha Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Trans World Airlines, United Airlines and USAir.
Steve Loucks, of the American Society of Travel Agents, said the number of travel agencies closing their doors between April of 1995 and April of 1996 increased 20 percent from the year before. During the same time period, airline sales increased 4 percent.
SatoTravel, which has held a virtual monopoly on the $5 billion spent annually by the federal government on travel, derived 100 percent of its revenue from the government until 1995. Although SatoTravel launched its foray into the private sector market in April 1994, the company did not see revenue from its new venture until 1995. But SatoTravel has seen its 1995 gross airline sales in the commercial sector jump from nothing to $250 million.
