Purchasing Airfare

Travelers are expected to obtain the lowest available fare that reasonably meets their business travel needs.

To obtain the lowest fare, tickets should be purchased at least 14–21 days in advance of travel whenever possible. (At least 30 days in advance for international travel.)

However, due to the cancellation penalties imposed by the airlines on almost all reduced rate tickets, travelers should try to balance the need for savings generated by advance purchase with the knowledge that travel arrangements cannot be changed without significant penalty.
