Dear Members,
XV PAPS Forum [Save the date!]
The PAPS Forum 2014 is being held in Washington DC, between May 30 - June 1. Please save the date and book your flights! Stay tunned for updates.
SATA Partnership
SATA partnership was renegotiated, mainly due to SATA changing its fare system.
PAPS members had a 20% discount, when only the fares Executive and Value were available (see image bellow).
With changes in SATA, there are new fares (Value Plus, Smart and Light), being that they mainly differ on the checked baggage and more competitive prices. SATA is not able to give us the 20% discount on these new fares. Being that most members travel with only 1 baggage, and that the SMART fare can be more affordable than the VALUE fare with 20% discount, we agreed on a 8% discount on the SMART one (Executive will also have an 8% discount). The SMART fare ranging from 503-1029USD can now range from 462-946USD (with the 8% discount). We are still pursuing the 20% discount on the Value fare, but at the moment SATA is not able to give us this discount due to technical limitations. We highlight that this is a temporary solution, until SATA solves their technical issues.
If you have any problem with SATA partnership / booking flights please contact us at c...@papsonline.org. We apologize for any problem booking flights that this renegotiation has caused.
