Air Travel/Flights
Flights for business travel should be booked in advance using the online travel booking system from Key Travel wherever possible, rather than through reimbursement of expenses. Flights should preferably be booked with an approved supplier.
- If you are booking scheduled flights, you should normally only book economy class tickets for journeys within Europe
- With the prior agreement of the Head of School, business class may be used for trips outside Europe (the Faculty Dean must approve business class travel by a Head of School)
- If a trip has a personal element, such as family travelling, the trip needs to be booked offline with KT. Just before confirmation the traveller contacts KT and pays the personal element, meaning UoM only gets billed for the business part of the trip
- Staff must not book flights with a more expensive airline to gain personal benefits such as air miles
