Airline Contract and Baggage Charges
State of Texas Contract Airline Fares
The State of Texas Travel Management Program (STMP) has announced that they have awarded new contract airline fares effective June 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009. The State of Texas airline fares are designed for last minute and/or fully-refundable travel requirements. When possible, state agencies and institutions of higher education should utilize 14-day advance or other lower cost airline fares for planned travel requirements to obtain the lowest possible cost to the state. The mandatory form of payment for contract airline fares is the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Travel Credit Card.
Excessive Baggage Charge
STMP released the following policy on baggage charges:
Baggage charges that are related to state business are reimbursable. It is assumed that the first checked bag is necessary to complete business travel. According to section 7.07 of the State of Texas Travel Allowance Guide, excess baggage charges for personal belongings are not reimbursable. However, the fees may be reimbursable if they are incurred for checking state-owned equipment.
TTUHSC will allow only the first charge (i.e., $15 each way) for checked baggage to be reimbursed on a state account with the second charge (i.e., $25 each way) to be reimbursed on a local account. The second charge for the checked baggage must be for a business purpose only. If describing the reason for the second and third baggage charge (for state-owned equipment), it will be allowable on state funds.
