air travel shall be

UWSA - FPPP 36 - Travel Regulations - Part III. III. AIR TRAVEL Preaudit steps for this section A. Commercial When an airline ticket is required for official UW business travel, the employee must use a contracted travel agency to book airline reservations. (Please see Travel Agencies in this section below for more information.) Reimbursement for commercial air travel shall be limited to the lowest logical fare available. The "lowest logical fare" is defined as the least costly fare that: uses a regularly scheduled commercial carrier; prohibits preference for any airline, type of aircraft and connecting airports; may require one plane transfer both departing and returning; departs from the airport nearest to the employee's headquarters location or, at the discretion of the employee, from an airport offering a fare which is more cost effective for the UW, including parking, mileage or additional overnight stays; allows for up to a four-hour leeway in scheduling which may necessitate that the employee arrive up to two hours prior to the start of his/her UW business and may require up to a two-hour wait after the planned business ending time to take advantage of lower air fares. Note: In accordance with the International Air Transportation Fair Competitive Practices Act of 1974, commercial air travel on certain grants must comply with the requirement that U.S. flag air carriers be used to the maximum extent possible when travel is between the U.S. and a foreign country or between foreign countries. The additional cost for premium class (first class or business class) travel is not reimbursable. If a situation should arise where premium class travel is the only alternative available, such travel must be cleared with the Institution Controller through the UW System Travel Office prior to booking the flight. Penalty fares are often cheaper, and their purchase is encouraged because most trips are not cancelled or changed, particularly those involving conferences. Penalties or additional costs assessed for cancellations or changes may be paid from UW-administered funds when a reasonable explanation for the change is documented in the payment voucher. It is the responsibility of the traveler to facilitate refund or credit from the travel agency or airline for any unused tickets. Employees may be held personally responsible for the cost of non-used tickets. Unusual circumstances should be justified in writing. Note: The State of Wisconsin's contract travel agencies have the capability to track unused tickets to prevent non-usage. When a more favorable price can be obtained for airfare by adding additional days to the trip, e.g., staying over a Saturday or flying on a particular day, reasonable expenses for lodging and meals for the minimum necessary additional days may be claimed if the total cost of the reduced fare, plus the additional days' expenses, are less than the lowest available airfare would have been without the additional days of travel. Reimbursement may only be granted under this provision for weekend days and holidays. The weekend for this purpose is considered to run from 4:30 p.m. on Friday to 7:01 p.m. on Sunday. Documentation of the air cost savings must be provided on the Travel Expense Report (TER). Effective October 17, 2005, a State/UW-issued purchasing card must be used for payment of official business-related airline tickets and travel agency service fees. If they so choose, employees have the option of utilizing the state-provided personal liability U.S. Bank travel card for payment. Because of significant administrative costs associated with use of the purchasing card, institutions may strongly encourage their employees to use the U.S. Bank travel card for payment of travel. As a result of electronic ticketing, the form of airline ticket may vary. When seeking reimbursement for the cost of airfare, an employee must provide the highest form of receipt issued by the airline/travel agency. In those instances where an airline ticket is reissued, previously issued documents should be attached for a complete audit trail. Claims for reimbursement of airfare must represent the net amount paid by the traveler after any applicable exchanges, discounts, change fees, etc. When airfare is paid direct by the UW and changes to the ticket are made which result in a refund, the refund must be credited or made payable to the UW. Documentation to support either claimed or direct billed airfare must include: traveler's name, destination, departure/return dates, amount of fare, routing, class of travel and purpose of trip. Regardless of the payment mechanism, airfare charges are a travel expenditure requiring proper approval by either the employee's supervisor, an approving authority (see definition, section II) or the department head. Benefits from any airline promotion, such as free tickets for frequent fliers, merchandise, etc., that accrue as a result of UW-paid travel belong to the UW and must be used for UW-related business. Benefits as a result of voluntary bumping may be retained by the employee provided the alternative travel resulting from the bumping does not involve any loss of work time or additional travel cost to the UW. An employee may not be compensated for business use of frequent flyer vouchers, vouchers for bumping, discount coupons or other instruments of value. Such discount instruments, if earned as a result of personally paid travel, should be used for subsequent personal travel. CONTRACT TRAVEL AGENCIES: The State has contracted with Adelman and Orbitz For Businesss for official, out-of-state business-related needs when airline arrangements are required. Contract details with Adelman and Orbitz are still being worked out. Until further notice, travelers should continue making airline reservations for business travel as they have done in the past. The State has also contracted with STA for student study abroad travel and Worldtek for athletic travel. B. Charter and Personal Airplane Travel Institution department heads may authorize employees to charter or rent an airplane or authorize them to use their personal airplane when such airplane use is the most efficient and economical. The State of Wisconsin has contracted with Wisconsin Air Service for charter air service. All UW institutions are required to utilize their service for charter air travel when it suits their needs. Their telephone number is (608) 246-4328. If they are unable to provide the needed service, an alternative service may be sought. Pilots who are flying aircraft on University business create a liability exposure for the University; therefore, the University requires preapproval in accordance with specific standards. For information on requirements which must be met, refer to Part 8B of the UW System Risk Management Manual or call your campus Risk Management Office or UW System Risk Management at 608/263-4381. Reimbursement rates for personal airplane business mileage shall be 38.5 per mile. The TER must include the names of the passengers transported. Reimbursement for costs directly associated with chartering, renting or use of a personal airplane shall not exceed the lowest logical commercial fare. The cost comparison should be attached to the TER. C. General Airfare discounts are generally available for groups of 8 or more persons traveling from the same origin to the same destination on the same plane (group fares) and for multiple individuals traveling from different origins to a common destination (meeting fares). Contact the contract travel agencies for details and assistance in setting up such travel. Unless it cannot be avoided, it is recommended that not more than five employees from the same business unit travel in the same aircraft.

Spain vacations, Spain cruises, Spain honeymoons, Spain tours and cultural excursions--- Almost 5,000 kilometers (over 3,000 miles) of coastline, along with diverse mountainous areas make Spain a privileged country for sports enthusiasts. Hiking, routes on horseback or by bicycle, climbing, Skiing ,river rafting, kayaking, parapente and hang-gliding are fascinating adventure sports which can be practiced almost all year around. More than 45 million tourists visit Spain each year, making it one of the three most visited countries in the world. To travel to Spain is to experience sun, superb food, hospitality and joie de vivre, and yet it is also to discover the country's rich heritage of monuments and sights, the imprint of different civilizations that once made it their home. To travel to Spain is to journey through its singular and breathtaking countryside, to delight in the stunning, starkly contrasting scenery, to study the customs of its people and towns, and to share in the local fiestas and traditions. To choose Spain is to opt for diversity, to be the central character in what is sure to be a truly unforgettable trip. This is what makes Spain such a prized destination worldwide, and why the vast majority of those who visit it once, return... in order to share in the enjoyment of a climate, countryside and culture which embody a rather special way of life. History has left its traces everywhere in a country with a unique legacy: Prehistoric caves, Roman remains, Jewish and Arabic architecture. The awesome bloom of Roman and Gothic art, followed by finest examples of Baroque and Neoclassical architecture, is just one example of the diversity that can be found in Spain. Not surprisingly, 30 Spanish sites are considered World Heritage sites by UNESCO. This contrasts with the thriving new trends in architecture that attract ever more tourists, like the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao or the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. The art experience in Spain is completed by its extensive offer of museums, featuring the best from the classics to the most avant-garde painters and sculptors. Widely known for Flamenco music and dance, bull-fights, fantastic beaches and lots of sunshine, Spain has to offer much more than that. It is - and has been for thousands of years - one of the cultural centers of Europe. It has beautiful cities and towns, offering really old monuments as well as futuristic architecture. Its various regions are all different one to each other, geographically, climatically and even in personality. It is a fascinating country to know and to know more about it. The diversity and contrast that go to mould the character of Spain are likewise in evidence in its cities. Celts, Iberians, Phoenicians and, at a later date, the Greco-Roman civilisation laid the first cornerstones of urban settlements which, to this day, bear the marks of their passage through time. During the Middle Ages, Arabic, Jewish and Christian cultures, singly and through a process of mutual cross-influence, gave rise to the birth of cities which have come to house an historical-artistic heritage of incalculable proportions. Tradition alone does not suffice. Modernity too is essential, and this was something certain Spanish monarchs -Charles III for one- managed to successfully apply during their reigns in order to beautify townscapes, like that of Madrid, with parks and landmark monuments, thereby instilling the city with a spirit of renewal. It was this element of urban renewal that became even more evident at a later date, in the form of townplans designed to extend and enlarge the leading cities, and the construction of graceful buildings which, in keeping with the shifts and changes in architectural tastes, have helped shape the identity of Spain's cities over the last two hundred years. This contrast is also to be seen in the individual heartbeat of Spain?s cities, where surroundings, climate and daily lifestyles harmonise to lend each its own typical character and atmosphere. Some reveal to us a testimony to a glorious past and a monumental heritage; others, an exuberance of light and colour; and others still, the mysteries of wreathing morning mists and a horizon mantled in eternal green. Whether cosmopolitan or provincial, locked in time or flourishing and go-ahead, they are fascinating in the wide spectrum of realities and possibilities that they hold out to all who visit them and enjoy their warm hospitality. "Spain is different!", Spaniards used to say. They don't specify compared to what: to the rest of Europe, to the rest of the world, or even to itself ? We don't know it either, but we do our best to supply you with loads of information so you can find the answer to this question and to many more by yourself. Select exactly the components you want in your Spain vacation. You choose your hotel, room category -from sea views to suites-, rental car, private transfers and customized sightseeing tours.
