The UK Travel policy was updated in January. Changes included the following language: Failure to submit a valid cost comparison may result in your reimbursement being reduced to the historical lowest airfare in the market. Therefore, there is no longer a need to submit an exception request when there is not a valid cost comparison. Our Director of UK Travel Program has the ability to pull up historical fares and will make the determination on the amount to reimburse.
