     rest stop selection

1. Dependents traveled by foreign air carrier
   from Accra,  Ghana, to Frankfurt, Germany,
   and completed travel from Frankfurt to U. S.
   aboard U. S. air carriers. Employee is
   liable for 15 percent amount by which fare
   via Frankfurt exceeds fare by usually trav-
   eled route. Since travel via Frankfurt
   involved certificated U. S. air carrier ser-
   vice for 4, 182 of 7,450 miles traveled,
   and proper routing via Dakar would have
   involved travel of 4, 143 of 5, 610 air miles
   by U. S. air carriers, employee is liable
   for loss of U. S. carrier revenues computed
   in accordance with formula at 56 Comp.
   Gen. 209 (197?).


2. Traveler entitled to rest stop under 6 FAM
   132.4 should select rest stop loc7tion along
   routing determined in accordance with ptinci-
   ples set forth in 55 Comp. Gen. 1230 (1976)
   requiring use of U. S. air carrier available
   at-urigin to furthest practicable interchange
   point on r.' usually traveled route, and, where
   origin or interchange point is not served by
   U.S. air carrier, requiring use of foreign
   carrier to nearest practicable inter6hange
   point to connect with U. S. air carrier ser-
   vice. Travelers will not be held liable for
   nonsubstantial differences in distances
   served by U. S. carriers.

3. In traveling from Accra, Ghana, to U. S.
   under particular circumstances, Frankfurt
   is not a proper ; st stop location and trav-
   elers who route travel via Frankfurt and take
   side trip to France are deemed to have trav-
   eled by indirect route and lose rest stop
   entitlement under 6 FAM 132.-.
