Travel

[Atlanta Z3]

Silly me (sorry in a Winnie the Pooh feeling kind of day)
Yesterday my boss came to me to change a flight to later in the day for the next day.  I sent him the info and followed up.  Was told that he will check with person in other city to confirm.
End of day as I'm shutting down the computer I remembered the travel arrangements.
Popped into his office ? tomorrow's travel.
"Oh sorry I'm not going."
me... "Uh what about cancelling flights - if you no show for a flight no refund!"  (subtext to myself - I used a refund ticket for this travel!)
So end of day canceling travel for next day.
My closing comment to him  "Isn't it nice that I watch out for the company budget?"

Arrgggg, travel    There are few things that annoy me as much as travel management. 

We had similar problems in the past.  Actually quite often.  Enough so that a policy was implemented.  If the traveler misses their flight (their fault, such as showing up late, etc.) or is a no-show, they are charged the full cost of the flight.  Its only happened a couple of times, but I think it was enough to scare everyone straight 

I feel for you!
