handle is hein.gao/gaobadnfm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Comptroller General of the United States Wahington, D.C. 20548 Decision Materof Japan Air Lines -- Claim for Economy Class Fare File: B-231720 Date: September 21, 1988 DIGEST Japan Air Lines (JAL) refused to provide through joint-line service from Okinawa to Seattle, Washington, with Northwest Airlines at a reduced military (category Z) fare that had been published in a tariff by Northwest and requested on a Government Transportation Request (GTR). JAL indicated that it was not a party to that fare. The Air Force then issued a second GTR requesting through service at a higher economy class fare solely to avoid delay in a member's emergency leave travel. The through service was performed by JAL to Tokyo and by Northwest to Seattle but the Air Force allowed JAL only the reduced military fare. The carrier's claim for the higher economy class fare should be allowed for the portion of the service JAL pertormed on the initial leg from Okinawa to Tokyo on the basis of the terms of the parties' agreement. The fare for the balance of the trip via Northwest is properly limited to the reduced military fare. DECISION This responds to a request for an advance decision on the question of whether the Air Force should allow Japan Air Lines' (JAL) claim for a through joint-line economy class fare, in lieu of a reduced military (category Z) fare that it had been paid for service from Okinawa to Seattle, Washington.l/ We conclude that the claim should be allowed for the portion of the service actually performed by JAL from Okinawa to Tokyo. The remainder of the trip to 1/ The request was presented by the Accounting and Finance Officer, Headquarters 475th Air Base Wing (PACAF), APO San Francisco. Because of the emergency nature of the travel on a day when a U.S. flag carrier did not serve the origin point, use of a foreign-flag carrier was approved. The claim involves GTR V5,510,303.
