Can I arrange for my own travel with online services such as Orbitz or Expedia?
Yes, however, travel that you arrange yourself cannot be pre-paid; it will be reimbursed after the trip is complete. Please also be aware that the University will not reimburse package deals (including transportation, hotel, etc.) from such online companies. If you seek reimbursement, purchase airfare and hotel stays separately. (See http://www.ucop.edu/ucophome/policies/bfb/g28.pdf for more information.
