Scott's View: Happy Army Birthday and Flag Day – Announcing Lufthansa & United discounts on transatlantic flights

June 13, 2019

Scott's View

We just issued a joint press release with our new partner Lufthansa that announces our new offer of 5% off flights to Europe. Together, we created this new VetRewards Exclusive that gives you the very best savings on transatlantic airfares. Lufthansa is the largest airline in the world (in terms of revenue) and we are pleased to announce this new VetRewards benefit that applies to their subsidiary airlines, too: Swiss International Airlines, Brussels Airlines and Austrian Airlines.

For European travel, United Airlines also offers you VetRewards savings on its transatlantic fares. You can book your VetRewards Exclusive savings online at United.com for transatlantic and domestic fares and other international destinations such as Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.

Finally, tomorrow, June 14th, is the Army’s 244th Birthday, and also Flag Day! To all my fellow Army veterans, I wish you a very happy birthday. On behalf of the team at Veterans Advantage, thank you for your service to our country! And may we all proudly show our flag’s colors this weekend, too.
