Today I received this in my email from the wife of a Canadian soldier and was asked if would share this on my blog. A lot of people consider the military family the invisible rank and a lot of the times we forget carnival cruise ships the sacrifice carnival cruise ships that loved ones of our soldiers carnival cruise ships give up while their loved ones are on deployment.
Dear *********** : I am sorry you continue to be disappointed with United. I regret that my colleague was not clear with our Military baggage policy. Active U.S. Military and their accompanying dependents on personal travel are allowed 3 bags up to 70lbs/32kg with a maximum dimension of 62 linear carnival cruise ships inches. As you're husband was not traveling with you the general domestic baggage policy applies. We recognize you have a choice carnival cruise ships of airlines, and we thank you for choosing to fly with United on this occasion. We wish you the best with all of your future travel. Sincerely, Michelle **** Customer Care United Airlines
.I was recently making a booking with Disney for our family and they confirmed me with the military rate...When I called to add something to the vacation carnival cruise ships they informed me that we could not receive carnival cruise ships the military rate...even though my husband did two tours and was injured on his second tour...I told her that we all fight together...didn't matter it cost us almost double sad but true
my unit from Alaska is deployed we got our two weeks of leave in October to go see family and friends. well one of my buddies carnival cruise ships was got to the airport and the line was long. when he got to the counter they told him sorry we cant check your baggage carnival cruise ships its to close to boarding time. well instead of making a way to get his baggage to his destination on another flight the next day or something they told him he can call and book another flight for 1300 more dollars! that's outrageous this man is going to serve your country for a year and you wont put his bags on another flight so he can go see his mother! i was beyond disturbed when i heard this.
anyways thats my horror story with airlines and military. but i have also had good ones i sat down to lunch with a buddy of mine before carnival cruise ships we parted carnival cruise ships )both military) and when the check came we were told dont worry about it the couple over there said thank you for your service. carnival cruise ships it was very nice and thats not counting the endless amounts of beers people have bought me :) thank you for all your support!
This blog was originally posted as a story about how a military family was mistreated by an Airlines in the US and I've shared the other updates I've received but have removed the names and personal information. I think all military families should receive military discounts regardless of if their loved one is with them or not.
Really!!!! Why am I not Shocked by this, its called the almighty dollar!! Our men and women are giving everything to their country, why cant you give them the recognition carnival cruise ships they deserve and help to bring them together when ever possible, families need to be together!!!

Military families should be recognized and respected as well as should our military men and women..... The disregard and lack of respect this country has allowed for it s new standard shows a steady decline in this country s morals. We used to all be able to hold our heads high and had respect for others and knew we also would have respect!!!!! Reply Delete Amanda D January 6, 2012 at 7:57 PM
what a sad story, that is terrible. She is so right when she mentioned how the military families wear the invisible uniform. They deserve just as much recogination. So Thank you! Thank you for all those moments missed with your families carnival cruise ships while your loved one was fighting for my family s freedom. Thank you for dealing carnival cruise ships with your scared child asking you when Mommy/Daddy is going to be home because they miss them so much and don t want them to go to Heaven. I Thank you for believing our Counrty carnival cruise ships is worth the challenges, delayed return homes, vacations cut short or postponed once again. For bringing your baby into the world alone while your partner is fighting carnival cruise ships for Canada and missing out of what is such a joyoius carnival cruise ships event that both of you should be sharing together. I Thank all the children who had to grow up a little sooner then wanted by trying to make the parent who stayed home life easier by tring to fill that missing parent s shoes. Thank you Reply Delete proudarmymom January 6, 2012 at 7:58 PM
I have two sons that were deployed to Iraq!! The airlines would not acknowlegde thier families as military either!!! Its sad they dont, these families are left sometimes with no one by thier side and a flight home could give them so much strength!!! Reply Delete Unknown January 6, 2012 at 8:35 PM
United Airlines behaviour is disgraceful. If you support the military, don t support United/Continental. There are plenty of other airlines out there, and we can certainly fly with someone else and boycott United. Reply Delete aaron January 6, 2012 at 8:51 PM
in response to via rail and other services! i am visually impaired (not blind) but classified as legally blind. because i am a cnib (Canadian national institute for the blind) card holder i get special privileges. such as i can have a guest travel free with me where ever i want on via rail, and air flights. i travel free with public transit and get cheap tickets to major sporting events (front row seating). it saddens me to hear that so many of our heroes and the their families are denied the services i am and truthfully i don t deserve or need them. im grateful don t get me wrong but all military carnival cruise ships family deserve the same services and way way more for all they have done for us. rest in peace Cpl. Nick Bulger you are loved and missed carnival cruise ships by many! Reply Delete Avroman January 6, 2012 at 9:47 PM
I just returned from my honeymoon to Orlando - Continental Airlines out of Vancouver allowed us to use the military offer with no problem but once we were in the States we got bounced around agents from both Continental and United only to finally be told the offer was only for US troops and the agents in Vancouver broke the rules. Disney was much more direct - while we thank you for your service, we only offer our discounts to US service personnel. With the new CF Appreciation site linking to many of the US military offers I think we are going to run into more and more of these issues. Reply Delete GaryLR January 6, 2012 at 10:10 PM
I am retired USAF and retired United Airlines. I understand some of their fee rules are unfair but would like to explain that it is security rules that require carnival cruise ships you and your bags to fly on the same flight. But rebooking at a cost of $1300 is a slap in the face. Shame on United. Reply Delete Mary Elizabeth January 7, 2012 at 12:31 AM
As a spouse and former civilian worker for the British Forces both at home and overseas carnival cruise ships I find this disgusting. Whether I travelled with spouse or alone my military id was enough to get my military discount and have them honour it no matter if that was on a plane ride between the UK and Germany or on a Ferry Crossing We need to treat our military families with more respect in this country as other mentioned they wear the invisible uniform and some times find it harder when their spouse or partner is on deployment and need those trips home a little more often to see other loved ones and get a break from always being under pressure so lets give a big thanks to all the Military wifes husbands and kids while there loved ones are serving and protecting us all THANK YOU does not seem enough Reply Delete DebbieLovejoy January 7, 2012 at 3:19 AM
I can t believe these comanys. I am with the boycott on all these comanys that don t reconize both service members and families. It don t matter if you are from Canada. HELLO PEOPLE WE ARE FIGHTING TOGEATHER IN THE SAME BATTLE! My husband is a 100% American disable Vet. We live in Oklahoma and I must Thank Oklahoma for the many things that they do for us. Some of the things is we are tax excemt. This last Memoral Day many of our Restrants carnival cruise ships gave FREE MEALS TO BOTH SERVICE MEMBER AND THEIR FAMILIES. ACTIVE AND NON ACTIVE. We went to Applebe s and they didn t even ask for our ID s. We got our meal free. There was not too long of a wait either. But while we where waiting carnival cruise ships we got the chanse to Thank are now current Men and Women Thank You for their service. As you might have guess we do live in a Military Town. And yes you will get more Thank You s from the people then you will get from these big comanys. Ruther it be buying you a drink or food or just a nice Thank You. I myself would like to tell all past, present, Service Person and their families a BIG THANK YOU! EVEN THE ONE S FIGHTING RIGHT ALONG SIDE OF US!

It is sad, but very true. Even retired military dont get the treatment they deserve and they, along with their families have given 20+ years of their lives to our Country. The one airline that I and our family have always received great discounts and Free food for purchase is on Delta, if we show our military ID. Granted there are times that I don t show it. There are a lot of families that dont show their ID s... why? Because we along with the service members do what we do because carnival cruise ships we love our Country and everyone that calls it home. The families give up just as much as the one active duty and that is fighting for our freedom. Respect them and honor them. If it weren t for the families left behind, they wouldn t be able to do the job they do and help keep us all safe and secure. Thank them and their families.
