Definitely get the sponsor's approval up front.  They may not approve
business class or the two seats under these circumstances.  We have had
problems getting approval for business class before even though the
people involved had a documented legitimate medical reason.  Some
agencies just aren't willing to pay for this sort of thing.  We ended up
having to pay the difference from our funds.

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Airplane Tickets

 let the sponsor know up front if possible, and be able to provide
medical documentation of the need for 2 seats (rather than the person
just being more comfortable with 2 seats)
