American Forces Travel

Holiday season is a time to reconnect and recharge before the New Year, and many military families travel to visit family and friends during December. But planning a trip and making travel arrangements can be overwhelming and expensive. American Forces Travel™ offers exclusive deals on hotels, rental cars, flights, vacation packages and cruises for military members and civilian DoD employees. American Forces Travel ™ is the official Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) provider for travel services and has partnered with world leaders in travel to offer the best options and prices for leisure travel and accommodations.

American Forces Travel ™ offers money back guarantees if a service member receives military orders after flight, hotel, or rental car travel has been booked and needs to be cancelled. If the bookings are listed as not allowing a cancellation, their customer care center will be able to help, so service members can focus on the rest of their checklist before deploying.

American Forces Travel ™ is committed to providing high-quality and best value travel services to patrons affiliated with the Department of Defense as a way to thank them for their service and dedication to our country. When military families feel more comfortable with their travel rates, more time can be spent enjoying friends and family, which is an essential part of mission readiness.
