"Duck Fares and PanAm Points"

PanAm Travel, UO's newest contract travel agency offers two programs that we will explore in our Travel Talk:

*         Duck Fares - PanAm Travel customers have exclusive access to 45,000 "private" fares, both domestic and international featuring refundable/changeable tickets.  If you need to make a last minute expensive airfare purchase or have the possibility of last minute changes resulting in expensive airline change fees, you owe it to yourself to come find out if these fares might work for your traveler.  (These are similar to our old state City Pair fares.)

*        PanAm Points -Book airline tickets with PanAm and earn and redeem points for reward benefits and flights.  Points can be applied to service fee waivers, domestic and international airline tickets along with perk accrual for travel arrangers and group travel coordinators.
