AOPA launches  lifestyles member discount program

FREDERICK, MD – The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) today launched a new, free membership benefit, called the AOPA Lifestyles Member Discounts program that offers AOPA members discounts on anything from headsets to car rentals. Participating companies include Aircraft Spruce, American Flyers, Frontier Communications, HaveProof.com, Hilton Software, PilotEdge, PilotMall, Spidertracks, Sporty’s, Hertz, Enterprise, Alamo, and Avis. The list of participating companies is anticipated to grow in the coming months. These discounts can save a member enough money to pay for their AOPA membership, and help get them back in the air more often.

“As we continue to roll out this new membership benefit, our goal is to make AOPA membership even more valuable by expanding the program with dozens of useful, high-value discounts that make flying more affordable," said AOPA Vice President of Planning, Products, and Corporate Partnerships Ed Thompson. "We're committed to helping our members save money, offsetting the cost of AOPA membership and providing even more savings that will help them fly more often.”

This new program offers across-the-board discounts from leading aviation and nonaviation companies. Current offers include a $10 gift card from Aircraft Spruce, exclusive savings on a Mission Flight Gear Bag from Sporty’s Pilot Shop, a free Learning Guide from American Flyers ($39 value) to help pass a knowledge or flight test, and $10 off your first purchase of $100 or more at PilotMall. Members can also receive discounts and special offers from car rental companies Alamo, Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz, a free two-week trial and discounted six-month subscription of PilotEdge virtual ATC services, $15 towards Haveproof.com content delivery certification services, and a special discounted rate for Frontier Secure Internet security services. Additional valuable offers include 15% off an annual subscription to WingX Pro7 Synthetic Vision and special savings on Spidertracks units and data services.
