General Information

• The contract airfares listed below end March 31, 2006. The last day to purchase tickets is March 31, 2006. All travel must be completed by April 30, 2006.
• Contract fares are listed by "City Pair" and the specific contract airline for a one-way flight in either direction.
• For example, the only contract between Seattle and San Diego, CA is with United Airlines (UA) for $147 one-way. No other airline has the state contract between this city pair.
• Domestic fares include all applicable federal, state, and local taxes. Fares DO NOT include Passenger Facility Charge (XF), Segment Fee (ZP) and September 11th Security Fee.
• International route fares are the basic fare (i.e. the air carrier's price for service) exclusive of taxes and fees.
• If a city pair is not listed, the contract requirements and provisions do not apply.
• "YCAWA" is the fare basis code for State of Washington unrestricted contract fares. Multiple airports may have the airport code attached to "YCAWA" e.g. Washington D.C. Dulles - YCAWAIAD.
• No restrictions apply (i.e. no advance purchase necessary, no minimum length of stay, no refund restrictions, etc.) YCAWA fares are applicable for all available seats on a given flight in coach class. Contract carriers will not discriminate against any State travelers in favor of higher fare tickets paid by other travelers on any given flight on any given seat or block of tickets.

Contract Airfares

• In-State City Pairs
• Out-of-State City Pairs
• International City Pairs

Additional Charges/Fees

Fares are subject to additional charges including a Passenger Facility Charge ranging from ($2-$18), Federal Segment Fees of $3 per segment (defined as a takeoff and a landing) and September 11th Security Fee (maximum of $5 one way or $10 round trip).

International fares are also subject to taxes/fees up to $113. Since these are airport charges and the airline is merely a collection agent, it has not been calculated into published fares at this time and is therefore in addition to the state contract fares. However, fuel surcharges, if applicable, are included in the fares listed.
