carrier be used or a foreign carrier that code shares with a US Flagship
carrier. To properly ticket a
code share carrier, the ticket must be issued using the US Flagship's flight
number and validated by the US Flagship carrier. Although some foreign carriers may offer
cheaper fares and more direct routes, unfortunately, the U.S. government does
not consider these valid exceptions. This document provides a complete
description of the law: http://fbs.usc.edu/depts/travel/files/2005/11/4/1.pdf Please, retain
copies of all your receipts for reimbursement.
