United Airlines said on Tuesday that it would offer "up to" 10% off of flights for young adults who book through the airline's mobile app.
Travelers who are 18-22 years old at the time of booking can get the discount as long as they book the flight using the United mobile app, which is available for both iOS and Android, by December 31, although the travel dates can be later.
United also said that it would purchase carbon offsets for the first 25,000 flights booked through the promotion.
In order to be eligible for the promotion, customers must:
- Be 18-22 years old at time of booking.
