Air Force member unable to accompany his dependent mother on an air flight on a return trip to his permanent duty station in Panama after she had received medical treatment in the United States hired an attendant to accompany her. Since no -invitational travel orders were issued to the attendant as required by paragraph M6403, Volume 1, Joint Travel Regulations, member may not be reimbursed for attendant's air fare. 2. Where travel orders authorized return transportation of dependent mother to Canal Zone after medical treatment in the United States by military air or commercial air, variations of itinerary authibrized as determined-by competent DOD medical authorities, member may be rewibursed cost of commercial air travel for return, rather than being limited to equivalent military air cost, in view of mother's condition. even though she traveled to an alternate destination, Medellin, Colombia, The issues presented in this case arising as the result of an appeal from a settlement of our Claims Division are whether a member may be reimbursed for transportation expenses for an attendant who accompanied his dependent mother where no travel orders were issued for the attendant and whether reimbursement for the dependent mother's transportation is limited to what it would have cost the Government to transport the dependent by military air in the absence of a showing that Government transportation was not available or its use was not practicable.
