Dear Conference Directors, Team Directors and Student Athletes:

United Airlines has a group reservation system in place which will allow collegiate cycling teams to make advance reservations for
10 or more team members/staff traveling at the same time, without having to name the passengers at the time of reservation. This
will allow larger teams to purchase tickets in advance at better prices, before the exact team has been chosen, as well as allowing
smaller teams to take advantage of the group discount. (consider partnering with another team in your area to make the minimum if
you don’t have enough riders.) Of course all NCCA licensed riders may fly their bikes for free on United using the vouchers
available on-line through the USA Cycling webpage ($150 value roundtrip). The designated Team leader, manager or coach coordinating
travel should contact the United Airlines Olympic Travel desk at 1-800-841-0460 and ask for either Arlene or Janet. These agents
will explain in detail the process required to reserve the seats. Madison is served by smaller aircraft and thus flights could fill
up fast: First come, first serve! If you have questions, problems or need further assistance, feel free to give me a call. Please
forward this message to the appropriate mail lists or team leaders in your area. Thanks!
