OF THE UNITEO STATES , WASHINGTON., 0 C. 20548 FILE: B-198872 DATE: February 20, 1981 MATTER OF: Lieutenant Commander Gary J. Angelopoulos - Travel by Foreign Air Carrier DIGEST: Where record indicates United States certificated aircraft was available for travel to intermediate destination, even though such routing would involve change in member's travel plans, payment of travel expenses is barred by Inter- national Air Transportation Fair Com- petitive Practices Act. Furthermore, incurrence of cost by member due to erroneous advice by travel officer does not provide legal basis for reimbursement. This Decision is in response to a request for an advance decision by the Per Diem, Travel and Transpor- tation Allowance Committee (PDTATAt-as to whether it would be le al to pay part of a claim for Transpor- tation Expenses/. The request has been assigned PDTATAC .Control No. -18. For the following reasons, we conclude that payment of travel expenses is not allowed where the record indicates that a United States certificated aircraft was available for travel to an intermediate destination. Furthermore, incurrence of cost due to erroneous advice by a travel officer does not provide any legal basis for reimbursement. Following his arrival at his new permanent duty station, U.S. Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt, Exmouth, Western Australia, on January 18, 1979, Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) Gary J. Angelopoulos sub- mitted travel voucher No. 50223 which requested reimbursement for commercial air tickets purchased at personal expense for himself and his family.
