Kuka Fareti--Reimbursement of Travel Expenses File: B-233593 Date: January 19, 1989 DIGEST Under applicable Department of Defense regulations, round- trip commercial transportation may be provided to a member incident to emergency leave upon a determination that, considering the nature of the emergency involved, space required government transportation is not reasonably available. The cost of such transportation for a member stationed in the Continental United States (CONUS) whose place of domicile is outside CONUS will not exceed the cost of government procured commercial air travel. Erroneous advice provided by an agent of the government concerning the availability of Military Airlift Command transportation or the amount of reimbursement that the member is entitled to does not provide a basis for reimbursement of costs which are not statutorily authorized. DECISION This action is in response to a request by Spc. Kuka Fareti, an enlisted member of the Army, for reconsideration of our Claims Group's disallowance of his claim for travel expenses.l/ The claim was disallowed because, although Spc. Fareti was erroneously informed otherwise, his entitle- ment to transportation costs is limited to the cost of government procured commercial air transportation. The disallowance is sustained for the reasons set forth below. BACKGROUND Spc. Fareti is currently stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. In 1986, while attending training at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Spc. Fareti took emergency leave to visit his wife 1/ Spc. Fareti's claim was disallowed by settlement No. Z-2865627 issued by our Claims Group on September 1, 1988. c /4ac 577%
