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.  This is for all instances where a cost comparison is needed and individual failed to secure a valid cost comparison as defined in policy:  

·         When used an alternate vendor

·         Determining reimbursement limit when driving over 400 miles

·          Combining personal with business travel
