For fiscal year 2027, you can book City Pair fares with eight airlines selected through the OMB-designated, Best-in-Class City Pair Program:
City Pair awarded 17,735 markets in FY 2027, with 12,955 of those as domestic and 4,780 as international. These awards cover 93% of all trips federal travelers take to complete their missions. We awarded non-stop service for 3,277 of these markets.
