Thomas, USMC DIGEST: Marine Corps member and his dependent who perform at personal expense circuitous transoceanic travel by com- mercial airline authorized by perma- nent change-of-station orders is entitled to reimbursement at Military Airlift Command rates for direct travel between duty stations despite having used commercial airline's reduced military fare contrary to Department of Defense (DOD) instruction providing that such fares may not- be used by active duty members whose travel will be paid by DOD. This decision is in response to a request for advance decision from the Disbursing Officer, United States Marine -Corps Logistics Base, Albany, Georgia, concerning whether Gunnery Sergeant Douglas G. Thomas, USMC, may be reim- bursed for transoceanic air travel performed at personal expense incident to permanent change-of-station (PCS) travel in July 1979. This request was forwarded to this Office by endorsement of April 28, 1980, by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee and has been assigned PDTATAC Control Number 80-17. By Station Special Order of April 19, 1979, as modified by order of May 14, 1979, the member was reassigned from Iwakuni, Japan, to Albany, Georgia. The member's orders authorized his and his depend- ent's travel by mixed modes with leave en route and did not require travel by Government or Government- procured transportation. Rather than proceed directly from Iwakuni to Los Angeles, California, and Albany, the member and his .4 dependent wife chose to fly via commercial airline from Osaka, Japan, to Honolulu, Hawaii, remain there 2 days, and continue via commercial airline to Los Angeles and then on to Albany by private automobile.
