2.3.3.5 Refusing Lowest Logical Airfare
If a traveler cannot accept a flight within policy, they need to obtain a deviation approval from the proper authority. This approval must accompany the TER and should include the business reason for the policy deviation. An e-mail record satisfies this requirement. Travelers must maintain the approval for audit purposes. All deviations will require approval from the same level of supervision that originally approved the business trip. In certain cases, ticketing will not take place until the traveler obtains the proper approval. The regional travel office will track and report all deviations.
