handle is hein.gao/gaobadnod0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matterof: Paul J. Castleberry - Indirect Travel - Reimbursement Limitation File: B-232576 Date: August 24, 1989 DIGEST An employee, who had purchased a Super Saver ticket in order to combine personal travel with temporary duty travel, was required by the government to return early to his duty station. As a result, the employee was unable to meet the prescheduling conditions of the Super Saver ticket and he could not use it for his return trip. Since the government may reimburse only those travel expenses that would have been incurred for direct official travel, there is no authority to compensate the employee for his loss on the Super Saver ticket. DECISION This decision is in response to a request from a Finance and Accounting Officer, Defense Nuclear Agency, concerning the claim of an employee to be reimbursed certain airfare expenses incident to the performance of temporary duty travel in June 1988.1/ We conclude that the employee may not be reimbursed, for the following reasons. BACKGROUND Dr. Paul J. Castleberry, an employee of the Defense Nuclear Agency, was directed to perform temporary duty travel from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, California, and return. For personal reasons, he elected not to purchase his airfare ticket through use of a Government Transportation Request (GTR). He was authorized by the agency to purchase his own round-trip ticket at a cost of $476, with the understanding that his round-trip airfare reimbursement would be limited 1/ The submission has been assigned Control No. 88-13 by The Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee. <>4
