From: To: ' In c Subject: RE: travel approval request Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2020 00:43:07 +0000 Inline-Images: irnage001.jpg I wish you would have told us that you were leaving early today — we had a lot of travel issues and thought you would be assisting this afternoon. In particular, in my email about flights, I specifically asked to get a refundable fare, and you got me a non-refundable, so I had to call the government travel people tonight to switch it, since international travel *must* be refundable. The ticket will now be more expensive but it's required for us for international flights. From: Sent: Friday, January 24, 2020 13:31 To: Subject: RE: travel approval request mentioned to me that you told her I had purchased refundable flights, but that's not quite right — I had asked you to make sure to get refundable tickets on the flights I listed below. Could you please double check and confirm that the flights you got for me are in fact refundable tickets? thanks, From: Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2020 23:37 To: Cc: Subject: RE: travel approval request similar request from me for the same trip, if you could please book the following refundable tickets — Monday, 2/3, Delta, 6:40 p.m. departure from JFK, landing at 11:55 a.m. in Stockholm (ARN) on 2/4, with a layover in Paris Friday, 2/7, Delta, 12:45 p.m. departure from Stockholm (ARN), landing at 9:55 p.m. at JFK, with a layover in Paris Note that it appears this set of flights is only available in premium economy but those seats are *cheaper* than any other flights on those days in regular economy seating. Please let me know if e2 or EOUSA says we have to fly regular economy (and therefore spend more money) and I can look at other flight times. Separately, could you also please take a look at hotel options in downtown Sweden that are within the per diem allowance? We generally need to be in this area, downtown: EFTA00096379
