    If you choose to use a different travel agency, check best practices and be cautious, particularly with Internet airfare providers. An airfare offered on a website may appear to be lowest, but restrictions, lack of service, and extra fees may significantly reduce the overall value.

    For more information, contact UCSD Travel or an individual Travel Team member.

    Notice: UCSD travel policy, as published in Blink, is decisive. It has been adapted to UCSD's organization, delegation of authority, terminology, chart of accounts, and processing applications. The source for UCSD travel policy is UC Travel Policy and Regulations.
