What is a defence fare on flights?

A defence (or armed-forces) fare is an airline-published discounted or restricted fare for eligible serving personnel, veterans, or dependants when the airline offers it. Eligibility and documents are defined by the airline — not by veertrip.

Is a defence fare the same as LTC?

No. Defence fares are airline products. LTC (Leave Travel Concession) is a service / claim process. You may book a suitable ticket on veertrip and still need unit or PAO approval for any LTC claim.

Can veertrip help with airport transfers near defence stations?

Yes. After you plan flights, you can explore VeerTrip Cabs for airport transfers on supported corridors. Cab availability depends on partners and city coverage.
