CHAPTER 301-3 - USE OF COMMERCIAL TRANSPORTATION
301-3.4 - Special fares.
(b) Reduced rates.
(1) Use of special lower fares. Contract air carriers shall be used to the
fullest extent practicable. In scheduling travel to a temporary duty location in a
city served by a contract air carrier from a connecting city rather than the city of
departure, full consideration shall be given to the use of the contract air carrier.
For example, even though Juneau, Alaska and Portland, Oregon are not "city pairs,"
travel to Juneau can be accomplished via Seattle, Washington using "city pair"
flights. Such scheduling of contract air carriers shall be used when it results in a
savings to the Government and the traveler's schedule is not unreasonably altered.
301-3.6 - Use of United States flag carriers.
(c) Use of foreign flag air carriers.
(3) Justification statement. When a GSA Travel Management Center (TMC)
is used for scheduling and ticketing foreign travel, it shall be the responsibility of
the TMC to provide the traveler with a statement justifying the use of a foreign flag
carrier for any part of the travel. This is because the TMC is in a position to attest
to the fact that no United States flag carrier was available. This statement must be
attached to the travel voucher covering the foreign travel.
