My answer would be yes.  Cost sharing contributions have to be allowable
under applicable cost principles, and the test I always use is if a cost
sharing expense could be charged to a project, then it can also count as a
cost sharing contribution (which means I'd use a US flag carrier even though
non-Federal funds would be used to pay for the cost).

Subject: Cost-share question

Another foreign travel question:    We're working on a budget with 2:1
nonfederal:federal cost-share requirement.      If the total budget includes
foreign travel but the cost will be paid completely by the non-federal
matching source, does it still  have to be on a US flag carrier?
