One of the leading online travel agencies for active and retired United States Armed Forces members, Militaryfares.com, announced that industry veteran Scott Lara has been named president of the company.

Lara is a U.S. Navy veteran and travel advisor who plans to use his experience in the armed forces and within the travel industry to channel his passion for service into a platform that serves those who serve our nation.

As MilitaryFares.com’s new president, Lara will take the helm of the premier website uniquely dedicated to meeting the travel needs of the U.S. Armed Forces and look to lead through his mastery of digital platforms, social media and devotion to family, support and service.

“I’m honored to assume the role as President of MilitaryFares.com,” Scott Lara told TravelPulse. “I look forward to sharing amazing deals on airfare, cruises, resorts and more with members of the military and their families.”

MilitaryFares.com was designed to find the best flight tickets possible by comparing itineraries and routings from more than 650 airlines. The website also allows users to search, book and pay for flights and trips all in one place.

The company, which was founded in 2002, also offers 300,000 hotel and vacation properties to choose from and car rentals across all model types and price ranges, all with a military-only discount included.
