State Contracted Airfare Program YCAL

Fresno State is a participant in the State negotiated discount airfare program known as YCAL.  The program offers considerably lower than comparable commercial fares for several city-pairs, also known as destinations, for travel within California (intrastate), out-of-state and a few international destinations. 

What are the Advantages of the Program?

  • Locked-in fares to facilitate travel budgeting
  • No advance purchase required
  • Significant discounts over regular walk-up fares
  • Fares are fully refundable
  • Fares are unrestricted and not subject to limited seating
  • No minimum or maximum length of stay required
  • One-way routes permit planning for multiple destinations

Who can use it?

State-contracted airfare is for use by Fresno State Employees traveling on official government or university business. Airfare is booked through CALTravelStore.
