Airfare Cornucopia! Tips and tricks for managing airfare purchases
Airfare is nearly always the first purchase when planning travel. The airfare purchase signifies the commitment to travel, galvanizes excitement, pledges budget to the trip, and is a relief to check off your list of travel planning items. Please join the Travel Office for  the Concur/Travel Roundtable where we will unravel the mysteries of the airfare industry to assist delegates and travelers with making wise airfare purchase decisions and managing unused ticket credit assets. Further, we will provide process tips for completing the Concur Request, working with specific airlines, and navigating itinerary changes. We hope to see you for this virtual meeting!

*       Explanation of fare classes and the fare "ladder"
