National Airlines Waives Advance Purchase Requirements
In an effort to aid travelers in the aftermath of the last week's tragedy, National Airlines is removing all advance purchase requirements on most published fares for tickets purchased by September 28, 2001.
``As our nation fights to deal with the catastrophic events of September 11th, the hearts and prayers of all National Airlines employees continue to be with the families and friends of those affected,'' said Michael J. Conway, president and CEO of the airline. ``It will take time to heal the physical, psychological and emotional wounds from these heinous acts, but like so many of our political and business leaders have stated, this country will not falter to terrorism. Americans are strong and already we have seen a concerted effort to get our nation back to some semblance of normalcy.
``National Airlines is waiving the advance purchase requirements on tickets to help people be with loved ones,'' the CEO added. ``In doing so, our lowest priced tickets can be acquired right up to the flight time, based on availability.''
Conway concluded, ``To the many heroes that have emerged, and to those who will emerge, we thank you. And to our colleagues, particularly at American Airlines and United Airlines, please know that all of National Airlines is with you.''
National Airlines serves Chicago Midway, Chicago O'Hare, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, New York JFK, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington, DC with nonstop flights to and from its Las Vegas hub. Reservations can be made through a travel agent, by calling National Airlines at 1-888-757-5387, or at nationalairlines.com.
National Airlines asks customers to remain patient as the nation's air transportation system starts up again. Passengers are strongly encouraged to arrive for all flights at least two to three hours prior to departure due to the new, heightened security measures.
