U3120 ARRANGING OFFICIAL <strong>TRAVEL</strong><br />

U3100-U3122<br />

*a. It is mandatory policy that all travelers use an available CTO to arrange official travel, including<br />

transportation and rental cars, except when authorized IAW par. U3110. A command must not permit a<br />

CTO to issue other than the least expensive unrestricted economy/coach tickets purchased at GOV’T<br />

expense without prior proper authority (pars. U3125, U3130, and U3135 for exceptions).<br />

b. A command must not permit a CTO to issue a YCA airfare purchased at GOV’T expense to a traveler<br />

when a _CA airfare is available and the AO determines that a _CA airfare meets mission needs.<br />

NOTE: This does not establish the _CA airfare as the basis for policy-constructed airfare – that remains<br />

the YCA airfare.<br />

2. Service Regulations. Service regulations for CTO use information.<br />

a. A command/unit is expected to take appropriate disciplinary action when a member and/or an AO fails<br />

member and/or AO acquires/allows a YCA airfare to be acquired when there is a _CA airfare available that<br />

meets mission needs (CBCA 1511-TRAV, 7 May 2009).<br />

c. Disciplinary action should be for willful violations and may be in the form of counseling (oral/written),<br />

non-judicial action, or other appropriate means. Action must not be through refusal to reimburse. Par.<br />

U3120-A4 for the exception when reimbursement is not allowed.<br />

4. Reimbursement Not Allowed. Reimbursement is not allowed when the member does not follow the<br />

regulations for foreign flag carriers (par. U3125-C5) and directed transoceanic transportation (par. U3110-A<br />
