OF THE UNITEO STATES WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20548 FILE:B-201083 DATE: August 5, 1981 MATTER OF:John W. Keys, III DIGEST: Employee who purchased super-saver airline ticket and arranged to take annual leave in anticipation of a personal trip, may not be reimbursed for additional air travel expense incurred when employee's official duties caused him to make alternate flight reservations which disqualified him from receiving the super-saver fare since there is no legal basis for the claim. This action is in response to a request from the Authorized Certifying Officer for the Water and Power Resources Service, United States Department of the Interior, as to whether the claim of John W. Keys, III may be paid. The request concerns the liability of the Government for $98.62 in additional personal air travel costs incurred by Mr. Keys when his official duties caused him to change his flight reservations. We find that reimbursement may not be authorized. Mr. Keys, an Assistant Regional Director for the Water and Power Resources Service, indicates that he had planned to take a personal trip from Boise, Idaho, to Denver, Colorado on October 17-19, 1980. On September 15, 1980, Mr. Keys purchased a super-saver (discounted) airline ticket and at the same time, he arranged to take annual leave on the afternoon of October 17, 1980. Prior to entering annual leave status, circumstances developed in connection with Mr. Keys'official duties which caused him to remain at the office that afternoon and also to return on an earlier flight on Sunday, October 19. As a result, Mr. Keys found it necessary to change his flight reservations and he was charged an additional $98.62 since the change disqualified him from receiving the super-saver fare. Mr. Keys claims that the additional charges were directly connected with the performance of official business and has requested that the Government reimburse him for the additional personal expense. !(I
