Is there a specific website required by Accounts Payable/Travel to make online airfare reservations?
Accounts Payable/Travel does not require any specific website for online airfare reservations. They do however stress the importance of obtaining itemized receipts for reimbursement. Q: The Bannerlink email dated July 7, 2005, states traveler must demonstrate a “significant cost savings” to the university. What is the minimum dollar amount of the significant savings to the university? A: Savings should be compared on base fares exclusive of reservation fees. Travel Services has in the past used a standard of $25 or more as significant savings (this has nothing to do with the renegotiated rate charged by Fair Winds). Fair Winds is currently working to negotiate a contract with Delta Airlines for flights taken from GTRA since the new state contract with American Airlines does not serve our area.
