✈️ Announcing VCU’s New American Airlines Partnership
We are thrilled to announce a new corporate agreement with American Airlines to bring exclusive discounts and perks to VCU business travelers. Whether you’re heading across the country for a conference or flying overseas for research, traveling on university business just got smoother, cheaper, and a lot more comfortable.
What’s Included in the New Agreement?
This partnership doesn’t just cover American Airlines—the benefits extend to key partner airlines British Airways and Iberia, making international university travel just as seamless. Here is what you can look forward to on your next university trip:
- Upfront Airfare Discounts: Enjoy direct savings on flights! Discount percentages vary depending on the fare class booked.
- Complimentary Preferred Seating: Get access to better seats at no extra charge. Note: You must be an AAdvantage member to qualify (joining is fast and completely free!).
- Priority Check-In & Security: Skip the long wait times and breeze through airport lines faster.
- Priority Disruption Recovery: Flight delays and cancellations happen, but VCU travelers will now receive priority flight re-accommodation to get you back on track with minimal hassle.
Don’t Forget Our Southwest Airlines Partnership
As a reminder, VCU also maintains a robust partnership with Southwest Airlines. This relationship serves as the perfect complement to our new American Airlines agreement, offering competitive corporate rates for flexible, cost-effective domestic and regional trips.
Looking Ahead
Our goal is to provide you with the most comprehensive, flexible, and affordable travel network possible. Procurement Services is actively negotiating with other major legacy and regional carriers to expand our portfolio. We look forward to sharing more exciting updates and new airline partnerships in the coming months!
Ready to Book?
These American Airline benefits are available immediately for all approved VCU business travel. Be sure to use standard university booking channels to ensure your flight automatically receives the corporate discounts and priority perks. Please be aware that corporate discounts and any priority statuses cannot be applied retroactively to flights booked outside of these channels.
