Tips and Guidelines for Airline Reservations

• Before making airline reservations, consider your destination and the complexity and duration of your trip when selecting the travel provider best suited for your needs.
• The means of air travel selected is expected to be equivalent to or less than, the lowest-priced non-stop economy class airfare.
• On federally funded projects, the Fly America Act takes precedence over a less expensive foreign carrier.
• Non-refundable tickets provide the highest savings opportunities. While these tickets can be an excellent way to save money, make sure you know and understand the restrictions associated with these fares when purchasing these restrictive tickets. If there is a fairly good chance your itinerary will change, you need to weigh the savings against the change fees and restrictions that may apply if you need to make changes to your tickets.
