2.2 Air travel

The class of ticket purchased will depend on circumstances, but should normally be economy class.

Business class tickets may be purchased for inter-continental flights where the budget holder considers it reasonable to do so.

Vouchers and receipts must be obtained.

For Low cost Airlines a printed copy of the Booking reference showing the amount paid will suffice.

Wherever possible, invoices for tickets should be rendered to the University by the travel agent rather than the cost being claimed as expenses by the member of staff.

Trading down to obtain additional seats at no extra cost is strictly forbidden.

Where staff are being reimbursed for airfares in advance of travel, they must return ticket stubs or boarding passes to the Finance Office as proof that the flight was actually taken.
