Hi Everybody,
I get a newsletter from the Transition To Adoptive Parenthood Project (TAPP) that we participated in and it had some interesting info about travel discounts for adoption situations so I thought I would post it. Here it is:
SOME AIRLINES OFFER - BUT DON'T
ADVERTISE - SPECIAL ADOPTION
FARES
Many adoptive parents could benefit from
special airfare discounts that airlines
offer but do not advertise, according to a
Jan. 18 Chicago Sun Times article by Jae-
Ha Kim, "Adopting Overseas? Ask for
Discount on Airfare." The story says that
Northwest Airlines "Special Delivery"
program includes a 65 percent discount off
of full-fare coach tickets, open returns and
no penalties for cancellations or changes.
Delta, United and Cathay Pacific also
indicated they offer discounted fares when
asked, but recommend that - given the
complexities of airline policies - adoptive
parents use a travel agent to book flights.

Hope this is helpful.
