Government Traveler Advisory
Sept. 15, 2006
Be advised that if you book a reservation in advance on a government fare, this rate is not protected until the ticket is actually issued. Fare basis and fare buckets can and do change in the current airline environment. If you choose to book in advance and not ticket you can lose your reservation.
Federal Government DG Fare Update
Oct. 3, 2005
Continental will strictly enforce the correct Form of Payment or **FOP** for Federal Government Discount fares **DG**. Continental Airlines will only accept the authorized Visa / MasterCard accounts as FOP for DG fares.
Travel Agents should ensure that proper Government ID is presented and the appropriate U.S. Government issued Visa or MasterCard is used when booking government DG fares.
Improper issuance of these DG fares will result in a non-waivable debit memo for the difference of the DG fare and the applicable unrestricted air fare. Non-waivable debit memos can not be paid using the Federal Government-Authorized credit cards.
For more information regarding the exact FOP accepted for military contract fares please see the following:
