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.

What documents are commonly required?

Airlines often ask for a valid service ID, dependant card, or other defence-issued ID matching the passenger name on the ticket. Exact documents vary by airline and fare type — check the fare rules in search before you pay.
