US flag carriers? Farnsworth, Franci 30 Apr 1999 13:01 EST

Here's my Friday afternoon question:    What defines a US flag carrier?    I
have a PI going from the U.S.-London-Stockholm with a stopover in London.
Apparently there are no US-carrier flights from London to Stockholm, but he
can buy a "United" ticket for a flight which is actually an SAS flight, just
with a United ticket.    The United ticket costs more than the SAS ticket.
Is he supposed to buy the United ticket in order satisfy the Fly America
rule?   Or because SAS is flying the plane anyway, can he just go ahead and
buy the SAS ticket because there are no US carriers actually flying that
route?

And is there someplace where these Fly America questions are answered?
