Question 3

REIMBURSEMENT FOR TRAVEL EXPENSES

Accepted Answer

• The travel expense reimbursement allowance for your seminar is $700. Should your travel expenses exceed the $700 allowance, or if covering the difference in cost would be challenging for you or your organization, please let us know prior to making your travel arrangements.
 • Eligible expenses include:
    • Basic & main economy roundtrip flights;
    • Checked luggage;
    • Roundtrip taxis, Uber and/or Lyft services between point of origin and airport;
    • Airport parking (non-valet);
    • Mileage driven - to be reimbursed at the federal rate;
    • Buses, shuttles, metros, or other public transit services.
 • Ineligible expenses include:
    • Cabin, or seat upgrades (ex. priority seating, economy plus, premium economy, business, first class, Southwest Anytime and Business Select);
       • If you plan to upgrade your seat, first purchase an economy seat prior to upgrading. This will verify the cost of the main economy flight and expedite the reimbursement process.
    • In-flight extras (ex. wi-fi);
    • Alcoholic beverages while traveling;
    • Travel day meals;
    • Travel insurance;
    • Hotel stays bookending events, except for medical accommodation.
