Almost all airlines offer some sort of military discount, including Southwest, American Airlines, United Airlines, JetBlue and Delta. For Southwest, JetBlue and Delta, you cannot access the discount online, you have to navigate to each website's military discount section and call the associated number to book your travel. For American Airlines and United Airlines, they offer 5% off through a third-party site known as WeSalute.

Popular booking sites like Expedia, Priceline and Kayak do not offer sitewide military discounts and will refer you to individual airlines. The best way to book flights at a discount is to visit American Forces Travel, which is run by Priceline.
