Alaska Convention Travel Deals

Here are some opportunities to travel for less to CACI's 2008 Alaska Convention.

* Bank of America/Alaska Airlines credit card Companion Fare. Two can travel for the price of one. Well, that's not quite true but it's close. Here's how it works:

1. apply for and obtain this credit card from Bank of America. You can get information and apply online at www.bankofamerica.com or by calling 1-800-552-7302. You will receive a Welcome Packet with the credit card and this packet will contain an explanation of the Companion Travel feature of the card.

2. Make your own reservations and identical reservations for your travel companion according to the instructions in the Welcome Packet.

The annual fee for the card is $75 and the Companion ticket is $50. If you and a friend divide all the costs for the card and for the two tickets each of you will be paying far less than the cost of a regular airfare. To use Companion Travel you and your companion traveler must fly to Anchorage on the same plane and also return on the same plane.

* Alaska Airlines Meeting/Convention Fare. CACI has made arrangements with Alaska Airlines to provide you 10% off any published excursion fare. This discount does not apply to Companion and other promotional fares. To obtain the convention fare do one of the following:
