Expenses, Transportation & Lodging
Cab Reimbursement (Sections 5.D.2.a., 5.D.3., 5.D.3.a.)
The reimbursable cost for cab transportation for transportation between the airport and a Flight Attendant’s place of lodging for assignments departing between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. and assignment arriving between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. has now increased to $20.00 (Section 5.D.2.a.).
In addition, when a Reserve Flight Attendant utilizes cab transportation to the airport in order to respond to a call of less than 3 hours, they no longer need to obtain permission from Crew Scheduling to expense reasonable actual expense for the return cab transportation from the airport to their home or place of lodging when they were unable to utilize their personal transportation to make a call out that was less than 3 hours (Section 5.D.3.). Simply submit both the departure and return receipts for reimbursement.
Also, a reminder that all claims for cab transportation must be made within 60 days of when the expense was incurred (Section 5.D.3.b.).
