@@ -332,70 +332,70 @@ fare search that meets all of these criteria:
 
  must have you arriving no earlier than Sunday, and leaving no later than
 
  Saturday.
 

	
 
* Except as allowed by Policy, the search must not use filters that might
 
  exclude the least expensive fare.  For example, you may filter out
 
  flights with two or more connections, since Conservancy does not
 
  consider those reasonable.  However, you may not filter out specific
 
  airlines, or flights without WiFi.
 

	
 
Any widely-recognized airfare search site that lists results from multiple
 
airlines is acceptable, including sites such as [Orbitz](http://orbitz.com),
 
[Kayak](http://kayak.com) or [Hipmunk](http://hipmunk.com/).  The PLCs and/or
 
the traveler must submit the output (such as a screenshot or printout from
 
the browser) of a online fare search as part of documentation in airfare
 
pricing.  Make sure the output shows the least expensive fare available.
 
Travelers may book their tickets on different dates or a different site as
 
long as they used a qualifying fare search site to determine that the
 
booked flights are within Policy.
 

	
 
Any flights greater than US$100 over the lowest logical fare require
 
written pre-authorization by Conservancy.
 

	
 
#### Reasonable Flights
 

	
 
Conservancy asks that Travelers allow for flexibility with respect
 
to departure times during a desired day of travel, as well as longer
 
trips in order to reduce cost.  However, Conservancy does consider
 
flights with two or more connections as unreasonable and does not
 
expect Travelers to consider those flight options to be reasonable.
 

	
 
#### Excess Baggage
 

	
 
Should a team member travel on an airline that charges for a single piece
 
of checked baggage, such a baggage expense is eligible for reimbursement.
 
Team members are responsible for charges on any baggage beyond a single
 
piece, unless that additional baggage is materials specifically related to
 
the Project's and Conservancy's mission (i.e., bringing t-shirts and other
 
promotional materials to an event).

#### Out-of-Policy Bookings
 

	
 
All air travel not adhering to the above Policies are considered Out-of-Policy
 
and require written pre-authorization by Conservancy's Executive Director.
 

	
 
#### Cancellation Fees
 

	
 
Cancellation fees and other penalties incurred result of a change
 
of plans are reimbursable at Conservancy's discretion.  In general,
 
Conservancy shall reimburse such fees if the Traveler can submit a
 
valid reason for the change of plans.  Acceptable reasons include Conservancy
 
and/or the PLC canceling or altering the trip or unexpected delays
 
in flight connections.  In instances where these fees are incurred
 
without adequate explanation, Conservancy reserves the right to refuse
 
to reimburse the cost of the fees.
 

	
 
### Other Transportation
 

	
 
#### Ground Transportation
 

	
 
Ground transportation necessary as part of authorized Project trips
 
is considered to be a reasonable expense.   Public ground transportation,
 
such as taxis, shuttles, buses and municipal transit, are generally
 
the most cost-effective options and are the standard for eligible
 
ground transportation reimbursements.  All car rentals require pre-authorization
 
by the PLC or by Conservancy's Executive Director.  When car rentals
 
have been pre-approved, the rental of compact cars is encouraged;
 
mid-size vehicles are authorized when necessary (e.g., when compact-sized
 
vehicles are not available or the number of passengers or volume of
 
baggage makes a compact vehicle impractical).
