I have read over A-21 section J-48. "Travel Costs" many times, but I
cannot come to a conclusion to the following question:
Is it allowable for us to charge round-trip airfare from our campus
(Macomb, IL) to St. Louis or Chicago via a charter flight since we are not
served by a commercial airline?
This charter flight costs about $500. A traveler could drive to a closer
city (Peoria, Springfield, Moline), take a commuter to St. Louis or
Chicago, and then fly to the final destination (this is how most of us at
the University travel to distant destinations) for less than $500.
Thanks,
