AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Traffic Management Division, HQ USAF/ILTT, reviewed this application
and states in accordance with the Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR),
Chapter 3, para 3110 A, “…a non-contract travel agent or common carrier
direct purchase may be used but must be authorized/approved by the order-
issuing official.” U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) citypair
fare from Seattle WA to Gulfport MS is $601.00 one way for each person, for
a total of $3005.00 (for applicant and his dependents). Member received
$331.17 for travel from Dallas TX to Keesler AFB MS. Entitlements
remaining member totals $2673.83 in accordance with JFTR U3120 B.2.
Recommend the applicant’s records be corrected to reimburse him $2673.83,
the difference between the GSA contract-city fare of $3005.00 minus the
$331.17 in travel allowance already paid him under previous vouchers.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 11 May
2001, for review and response. As of this date, no response has been
received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice. After reviewing the applicant’s
submission and the evidence of record, we are persuaded that some relief is
warranted. In this respect, we agree with the opinion and recommendation
of the appropriate Air Force office and that the applicant was misinformed
when planning for transportation to accommodate his travel arrangements.
Therefore, we recommend he be reimbursed in accordance with the Joint
Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR), for his and his dependents travel
expenses. His request to be reimbursed the total amount of the expenses
incurred was considered, however, we believe he should only be reimbursed
for the expenses allowed under the JFTR. We therefore recommend that the
applicant’s records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 14 September 2000, competent
authority authorized the applicant to self-procure commercial airline
tickets from Seattle, WA to Gulfport, MS, for applicant and his dependents,
and he is entitled to reimbursement for the expenses incurred for his
personally-procured official authorized Government transportation.
