What do the NSF grant rules concerning eligible airlines mean?

NSF regulations require that you fly a US Flag carrier airline, if one is available for your travel. This means you have to fly an American flag carrier, that is, an airline based in the USA. You can also fly on a code share partner of a US flag carrier: a code share partner may operate a particular flight as code share or they may be affiliated with a US flag carrier. This rule can be bypassed on one or several legs of your trip if you can provide written proof that a) flying code share or flag would have made you wait for over 24 hours, or b) that a US flag carrier is not available in your departure country.
