How are charges applied, and do travelers need a credit card?
Airfare is paid by the appropriate UCOP department via a PO when the booking is made through UC Travel. At this time, bookings made through BCD and Orbitz cannot be direct billed, but need to be charged to the employee’s Travel & Entertainment Card or a personal credit card. A T&E card or a personal credit card can be used for hotel and car rental. We hope to have a mechanism in place soon for direct billing with the other agencies. We will provide more information as we have the solution in place.
