Travel Purchasing

Purchasing airline tickets and making car or hotel reservations through the Travel Center has never been easier! Apply for a UC Travel and Entertainment (T&E) MasterCard to make purchasing airfare more convenient. Make all your travel arrangements online using the T&E MasterCard or contact the Travel Center conveniently located at the Wilshire Center.

Discounted Prices

The UCLA Travel Center is the first University to be designated as a Corporate Travel Department (CTD). This entitles the Travel Center to issue airline tickets and make car and hotel reservations on behalf of all University travelers at discounted prices. As a department of UCLA, we offer several services that set us apart from all other travel agencies or travel internet sites such as direct billing to University departments and state government airfares.

Corporate Travel Card

UCLA provides a US Bank Visa Travel & Entertainment Card to faculty and staff who travel on official University business. Travelers are strongly encouraged to use the card to pay for all expenses related to University business travel, including lodging and subsistence, except where the card is not accepted. The cardholder is personally responsible for paying all charges on the corporate card and for keeping it current. The University will not reimburse or pay late fees incurred in connection with the T & E Card.

Cash Advances

Travelers who have been issued a Travel & Entertainment Card are required to use the card for cash advances. A traveler may obtain cash through the US Bank Visa, by using an ATM machine. An administrative fee of 2.5% (with a minimum charge of $2) is charged for each cash advance obtained through an ATM. This fee appears on the cardholder's monthly statement and is a reimbursable expense. To minimize fees associated with cash advances, we recommend that only the anticipated cash needed for incidental expenses be withdrawn. The T & E Card should be used to charge expenses whenever possible.

Arranging Travel

Sharing tools, upcoming events, the berenike buddha: early buddhism and indian trade diaspora in the red sea, how broadcasters make money, archaeology of imperial sacred landscapes in early china, confucian meritocracy and passive virtues, recent news, committed to serving the underserved, q&a: cindy fan on the importance of global studies and perspectives, austrian archives for exile studies: preserving literary and cultural history, morocco honors a native son.

In arranging for guests to travel to UCLA, you must coordinate closely with the guest and (usually) with the UCLA Travel Center.

Tickets can be purchased either by:

  • the guest, who will then be reimbursed; or
  • using UCLA Travel Center's Direct Billing System (DBS).

If the guest prefers to purchase his/her own ticket, make sure to instruct them to seek the lowest possible fare, and to keep all ticket stubs and receipts to be mailed back to you at the conclusion of the trip.

If the guest prefers to purchase his/her own ticket, it is your responsibility to see that the cost is indeed "the lowest possible" or is otherwise reasonable. In any case, reimbursement will not be possible unless the ticket meets UCLA policy. Assuring the cost of the ticket can be accomplished by agreeing to the cost beforehand, or by setting a dollar limit on what you will reimburse, or by letting your guest know that your center/program will only reimburse no more than the equivalent of a ticket that could be obtained through the UCLA Travel Center. Make your requirments clear to the traveler; avoid misunderstandings.

Meeting UCLA Policy

If you arrange a ticket through the UCLA Travel Center via the DBS, you can assume that the ticket meets UCLA travel policy. Furthermore, the Travel Center has available numerous discounted airfares (so called State fares, etc. -- see below), which will be of benefit to you and the traveler (since many of these special fares permit changes that are not available when tickets are bought on the market).

If the traveler purchases his/her own ticket, you cannot assume the ticket meets UCLA travel policy. All reimbursement is done through the UCLA Travel Center. If a ticket does not meet UCLA travel policy, you will have a problem: either the Travel Center will not reimburse the ticket, or it may reimburse it only partially, or there may be other difficulties. UCLA travel policy and procedure is available on the Travel Center website .

Exceptions to policy : Sometimes, for various reasons, you may want either to purchase a ticket that does not meet policy or reimburse such a ticket. In this case, you may may request a exception to policy by writing to Rebecca Beatty (Director of Business & Administrative Services)   [email protected] . If you need an exception to policy, be sure to request and obtain it before you arrange for travel.

Non-resident Aliens: If your traveler is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, before committing to a ticket be sure you have taken all the steps necessary for the traveler to obtain the appropriate visa.

For more information and reservations, contact: UCLA Travel Center x62639  

UCLA Travel Center

The UCLA Travel Center -- “The Official Travel Agency of UCLA” -- is responsible for:

  • Processing and auditing of Travel Vouchers (soon to be replaced by Expense Reports)
  • UCLA Travel & Entertainment Card --  A GE MasterCard is available to University travelers free of charge as a tool for charging business travel and entertainment expenses. 
  • Pre-Trip Authorization for Direct-Billed Airfare --  PTA enables centers/programs to order airline tickets and have the UCLA Travel Center make payment directly to the vendor, thereby relieving the traveler of any financial burden. The PTA System can only be used for tickets issued by the UCLA Travel Center. A PAC Order must be in place before any ticket can be issued. There is a service fee for tickets issued through the PTA
  • Discounts and Contract Rates : The Travel Center has available a wide variety of discounted rates for air tickets, hotel, car rentals, etc. 

HELPFUL HINTS

  • Recent bulletins on travel information and policy, as well as University policy and procedures concerning travel, are on the Travel Center website
  • UCLA contract air fares are unrestricted and not subject to limited seating: travelers may change flights, tickets may be returned for refunds, etc. Tickets bought on the market may, in some cases, be a few dollars cheaper, but in return they will likely have many restrictions.
  • The Travel Center website has links to many valuable travel resources (foreign currency exchange rates, federal per diem rates, etc. etc.)

Travel Insurance

Trip registration is required for those traveling on official University business off-campus (>100 miles) or internationally. Accurate information on travel plans is needed in order to deliver the services and protections the travel insurance policy offers. University travelers include employees, medical residents, students, fellows, and guests with travel paid by the University.

If you are a travel arranger or international program manager, contact our office to join our travel alert listserv. 

The following information will help you to plan your trip and connect you to resources to help ensure your safety while traveling.

Register a Trip

Travel registration does not guarantee that your trip is eligible for travel insurance coverage.

* UC employees must be on approved university business during which they will be compensated by the university. * UC students must be participating in a UC sponsored and supervised off-campus activity that meets the policy definition of a ‘covered activity.’

Travel to these countries, and interactions with organizations or individuals in them, are highly regulated. Prior to traveling, special permission from the U.S. government in the form of a license may be required for any of the following activities: * Financial transactions * Providing a service (of any kind) * Conference attendance or presentations * Conducting research * Education or outreach * Hand carrying laptops, equipment, material or information as part of your travel You must coordinate with UCLA Export Control before travel to these sanctioned counties to ensure that the appropriate compliance steps are taken.

Special notice on medical services: payments for medical services in this country cannot be processed by UC’s travel assistance provider. Travelers must make any medical care payments out of pocket and submit a claim for reimbursement within three months after the service date.

To request a certificate of insurance to acquire a visa, demonstrate coverage for COVID-19, or any other reason, please send the following information to [email protected] :

First and last name Affiliation with UC (student, employee, etc.) Date of birth Dates of travel Travel destination (country or countries to be visited) Additional Information as requested by the travel destination’s embassy

Mobile Devices and Data Roaming Charges

If you are traveling internationally and plan to use your mobile device for email, please contact the UCLA Mobile Program at [email protected] to add international features before you leave the country. Data roaming charges without a plan are very high and are applied if international data roaming is turned on, whether or not you actually use your email or web browser. Data Restrictions

If you are traveling with electronic devices, it is important to take steps to protect and secure information stored on those devices. Consider some of the following steps to protect your information: * Leave your data or laptop at home or use a loaner laptop wiped clean before your trip * Backup your data * Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) * Password protect (secure) or encrypt (more secure) your hard drive * Maintain physical control of your devices at all times, or secure them in a locked desk or hotel safe to prevent theft or unauthorized access * Only connect trusted items to your devices (e.g. thumb drives or wireless devices) * Contact your local IT administrator for assistance if needed. Hand carrying computers, research materials, samples or equipment When you travel abroad, everything you take with you is an export including hand carried equipment, research materials, and unpublished or proprietary information or data. UCLA Export Controls can determine whether an export license is required to travel with these items.

If you are traveling to an area with additional health risks , you are encouraged to visit a travel clinic in advance of your travel. It is recommended that you schedule a visit as soon as possible in case multiple rounds of vaccines are required.

Employees can make an appointment with UCLA’s Occupational Health showing proof of UCLA travel registration or may visit another travel clinic provided by your health insurance program. Please ensure your appointment is at least 2 or more weeks in advance of your departure.

If you are a Student qualified for Ashe Center visits, you may visit their travel clinic for health advice and vaccinations while traveling.

Travel Insurance and Filing a Claim

* Coverage for domestic (US) travel is limited to medical evacuation and eligible medical expenses when you have an accident during or while traveling to/from a covered activity* (conditions apply). US health insurance is the primary source of insurance for such accidents.

NOTE - There is coverage for certain students who are injured while participating in certain on-campus activities. Contact your campus Risk Management office for more information.

*Coverage for international travel is more extensive and may include medically necessary care for accidents and illnesses, mental health counseling, medical and security evacuation, trip delay/cancellation/interruption (conditions apply), and personal property coverage*. * Travel insurance only covers trips 365-days in length. If an assignment abroad will last a year or more, contact your US health insurance administrator to see if the policy has a global component. For example, Anthem Blue Cross PPO has the Global Core Program. All treatment received internationally will be considered ‘out of network’ and pre-approvals are required for most non-emergency treatments. *Travel insurance coverage, including security evacuations, may be limited in countries with comprehensive OFAC sanctions due to restrictions on doing business in those countries. Even if you get a license to travel there, you will likely have to cover any medical or security costs out of pocket. definition of a ‘covered activity.’

Travel & Entertainment Card

Use of the Travel & Entertainment (T&E) Card is limited to business travel and event expenses that will be paid directly from the University to US Bank via expense report. The T&E Card should not be used for other types of business expenses and should never be used for personal charges of any kind.

All T&E Card transactions must now be accounted for in the new Express. A cardholder can no longer use the T&E Card, pay US Bank directly (out of pocket), then remove the transaction like they could in the legacy Express.

To account for a T&E Card transaction that the cardholder personally paid to the bank, the transaction must be attached to an expense report and assigned to the “Personal Expense” expense type. Selecting Personal Expense indicates that no payment should be made from the University to US Bank. Selecting Personal Expense for a T&E Card transaction does not necessarily mean that the expense was not for business, but it accounts for the transaction without sending a payment to the bank.

Please note that an expense report cannot be submitted if the only line items on the report are all Personal Expenses (the user will see a red “Action Required” exception message). Personal Expense transactions should be attached to a report in a timely manner, but the report should be held until there are other valid business expenses ready to submit. The Personal Expenses would be combined on the same expense report as the next available business expenses. The trip/event for the next valid business expenses is what the header information (purpose, destination, justification, date range) should be updated to. Be advised that the cardholder (and any delegates who have permission to receive their emails) will continue to receive periodic email reminders until this is resolved by submitting a valid report.

Direct Billed Airfare

Airfare and UCTC service fee charges that are paid via direct billing are also now reconciled via Express. Users will see these company card transactions along with their T&E Card transactions when completing an expense report. To account for these direct bill charges, the company card transaction(s) must be added to an expense report and an approved request must be linked. The transactions can be added to the report as soon as they are available, but the report should not be submitted until after completion of the trip. Any out of pocket or T&E Card transactions should included on the same report, to provide a full accounting of the trip or event.

Please refer to the Quick Reference Guides for detailed Instructions on how to create a report from a request and how to attach company card transactions.

Create a Report from a Request QRG

Add University Card Transactions to an Expense Report QRG

The UC Travel Center (UCTC) will advise you if your ticket may qualify for a refund. Refunds are not guaranteed, and airlines may change their refund policy at any time without notification.

If your ticket may qualify for a refund, you will need to create a Request to cover the applicable airline and UCTC service fees.
