Bottom line

Because these military travel deals, their requirements, and the eligibility of family members, spouses and dependents vary, carefully research each military discount offer to avoid surprises. Many airlines, hotels and other businesses might ask for proof of eligibility, so don’t leave home without the military ID, veteran ID, dependent ID, orders and/or other documentation you’ll need to take advantage of the many travel offers.
