to support its position: in accordance with the Joint Federal Travel
Regulations (JFTR), Petitioner was paid correctly on his travel claims
when he was not reimbursed for his non-U.g§. certified air carrier
tickets. The JFTR clearly states that reimbursement of a non-U.S.
certified air carrier 4s not authorized when U.S. certified air
carrier tickets are availabie. Even though Petitioner was told to
purchase the tickets by his command, there was a U.5. certified air
carrier ticket available for travel. Furthermore, to guarantee a seat
to the final destination is not a bagis to authorize the purchase of

non-U.&. certified air carrier ticket.
