Ground transportation will be reimbursed up
to $65 with documented receipts.
Parking at airports will be covered up to
$60. Current mileage is 51 cents per
mile.
The Bureau will
reimburse only the lowest available reasonable air fares. Under no
circumstances will first, business or full coach class fares be reimbursed. It
is usually advantageous to book your travel well in advance. Please check all
carriers, including those who do not sell through travel agents, such as
Southwest and JetBlue. The best fares are available from the airlines' own
websites.
To assist conference
participants in making their travel arrangements, we have designated American
Express Travel as our official travel agency. The NBER will not reimburse for
any amount above the cost of a ticket available through American Express. They
offer a toll-free number, and are familiar with our travel regulations. A
master account has been created for participants traveling on Bureau related
business, and your airfare will be billed directly to us. Their number is
1-800-964-7409 and their email address is WalthamSBT@aexp.com
You can, of course,
also use them for other travel; in such cases, the expenses should be billed
directly to your credit card.
WHENEVER POSSIBLE
PLEASE BOOK YOUR TRAVEL NO LESS THAN 21 DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR DATE OF TRAVEL.
TICKETS BOUGHT THAT FAR IN ADVANCE REALIZE THE BIGGEST SAVINGS.
Please be advised, the Bureau is only able to
reimburse expenses for ONE trip to the Summer Institute.
