December 12th, 2016 Miscellaneous Notes on Flying Together from RUPA President Cort de Peyster: The “MyIDTravelPurchase” link is hard to find! It is buried in the “Other Airline” page on Flying Together>Travel. The same is true for the “Book” link for buying a “myUAdiscount” ticket; it is buried on the “myUAdiscount” page on Flying Together>Travel.
