Airfare Expenses

Effective immediately, all international travel must receive prior approval from the appropriate Vice President or the Office of the President. Additionally, travelers must provide sufficient justification regarding the necessity of the trip. This measure is intended to ensure that international travel is essential and aligned with the university's mission.
Reimbursement will not exceed the quoted state-rate price through OSU'S approved travel agency, which the Admin Sup Assistant will procure. You may call her to compare prices before buying your ticket.

Some airlines have begun charging a fee for checked bags.
The additional cost for the first bag is reimbursable as a miscellaneous expense.
The cost of the second bag is reimbursable if the traveler can document and justify the business need of the second bag, such as having an extended stay or carrying business materials. This justification does not include 'bringing personal items.'
Some airlines are now charging a fee for changing advanced seat assignments. This fee is not reimbursable per the Office of State Finance, unless the seat change is a medical necessity. The medical necessity should be documented on the travel voucher if the traveler is claiming reimbursement of the fee. Changing a seat assignment so that a traveler may sit next to a co-worker or spouse is considered a luxury and is not reimbursable.
