To all University travelers utilizing Globetrotter:
- Always print a copy of your itinerary/ invoice immediately upon receiving your electronic ticket information via email from Globetrotter.

Any requests for copies have to be requested from the University Travel Coordinator.
- Effective November 1, 2010, the travel agent ticketing fee is $17.50.
- Please be economical and budget-conscious when purchasing airfare. Globetrotter is required to inform travelers of the lowest fare. Any request for a flight resulting in a higher fare must be approved by the University Travel Coordinator (Frances Morgan).
- Many airlines are now charging new service fees. These fees vary by airline. Here is a partial listing of some of these fees:
- Luggage fees (up to $50 per standard bag)
- Curbside check-in fee
- Food and beverage fees
- Blanket and pillow fees
These additional fees are not included in the price of your ticket and must be paid by the traveler as the service is requested/ received. Please consult your travel agent for specific fees your airline will be charging. Not all of these fees are to be paid by the University. However, for the fees that will be reimbursed, you should include these costs within your completed ‘Request for Approval of Out-of-State Travel' form (COMP/01).
