Air Travel Discounts

SMU has negotiated with American Airlines, the official carrier for participants of AARO and Mustang Corral, to help you secure the least expensive fare to Dallas. American is offering discounted fares valid for travel within the United States. The special rates are available only through the American Airlines Meeting Services Desk at 1-800-433-1790 for individual reservations. You must indicate that you are attending Southern Methodist University Orientation and ask specifically for our assigned discount code. This discount code is A1179SS.  Meeting Services will confirm the lowest applicable fare, providing tariff rules are met. Fare contracted is base fare only. Any applicable taxes, fees, and charges are the responsibility of the passenger. Please make sure travel arrangements allow your participation in the entire two day AARO schedule.
