For alumnus travelling by air, travel costs will be reimbursed on the basis of the most economical way in economy-class fare; 2.

reimbursed: - economy-class

Tickets/boarding passes/receipts must be the originals and not a photocopy. In the event that a receipt could not be obtained, or has been lost, then this should be discussed with us. Claims may be rejected when a receipt is not provided where there is a reasonable expectation that a ticket/boarding pass/receipt would have been issued. Where it is not possible to obtain a receipt/ticket/boarding pass, alternative proof of the expense incurred may be accepted.

exceptional circumstances (i.e. no flight/train availability on the day of
departure, substantial difference in travel fare etc.) the Center may reimburse
an additional night. In this instance, you should provide us with a proof. The
cost of any accommodation arrangements which are made directly by you will not
be reimbursed.
