Airfare

1.May I purchase a package (airfare/hotel/car rental) deal from an Internet vendor (e.g., Expedia, Hotwire, Orbitz, etc.)?

The CSU travel policy highly discourages use of these Internet travel suppliers:Travel "packages" from Internet vendors typically do not itemize expenses. Therefore, no business-related travel should be booked through such vendors unless the traveler has confirmed that each aspect of the package will be separately itemized (e.g., itemized hotel charges, airfare) to assure appropriate documentation for reimbursement.Please be aware that non-itemized hotel, airfare, and/or rental charges on a "package" receipt, will not be reimbursed.

2.How do I purchase my airfare?

Concur Travel & Expense provides a booking tool through which employees may purchase airfare and have the cost billed directly to the campus.  Otherwise airfare for business travel may be purchased whereever the traveler would like (using a personal credit card), keeping in mind the itemized receipt requirements when using an internet company to purchase airfare.
