United Airlines is offering
an airfare discount and free checked bikes for customers flying to
ride in the AIDS/LifeCycle bike ride from San Francisco to Los
Angeles.
Available for purchase now, the discount is valid for
cyclists booking travel originating worldwide to San Francisco
International Airport (SFO) and Norman Y. Mineta San Jose
International Airport (SJC) and out of Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX), John Wayne (SNA), and Burbank (BUR) airports,
between 26 May and 11 June 2019.
For every 40 customers who fly
with United's discounted fares, AIDS/LifeCycle will earn US$400 in funds which can be used for United products, including
flight arrangements between San Francisco and Los Angeles for
AIDS/LifeCycle staff.
"United's commitment to the AIDS/LifeCycle
ride is about more than bringing together our two California hub
cities, San Francisco and Los Angeles," said Janet Lamkin,
United's president for California. "Our support for this ride is
about deepening our commitment to the LGBT community, and by
offering these discounts we hope to grow the number of participants, and in turn, activists who can together raise
awareness and additional funding for services that address HIV/AIDS."
United supports the AIDS/LifeCycle mission to
raise awareness about the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic and fund
services such as HIV testing, prevention, care, and more.
In
addition to United employees cycling in the 7-day, 545-mile bike
ride for Team United, the airline will supply support along the
ride for all cyclists, providing bandanas, equipment changes and
other support to help cyclists get to the finish line in Los
Angeles.
To purchase, cyclists can visit the
website
and enter ZFWZ101320 in the offer code box.
"We are
thrilled to have United Airlines as a member of the AIDS/LifeCycle
community. United's generosity provides a great travel benefit for
participants who come from all over the country to make the 7-day
journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles," said Tracy Evans, ride
director for AIDS/LifeCycle. "The access United provides means
more people can join and fundraise through AIDS/LifeCycle,
resulting in more programs and services being delivered to the
ride's two beneficiaries: San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the
Los Angeles LGBT Center. Thank you, United."
