Flight price search must be saved and submitted: now Clarified in main policy.

In the "Easy Reference Guide", it had been noted that you must include "Your
fare search (i.e., a screen shot)" when submitting a reimbursement request.
However, the main body of the text didn't explicitly say that.

I've also reintroduced herein a list of fare search sites. We took out the
list initially because some complained that it prescribed a specific search
site. The new wording herein makes it clear that the list is a proper subset
of acceptable search sites. More can be added if folks like.

==== Advance Purchase
 

	
 
Air travel should be booked at least 14 days in advance; any travel booked
 
less than 14 days in advance requires written pre-authorization by
 
Conservancy.  Flights beyond 365 days in advance also require written
 
pre-authorization by Conservancy.
 

	
 
==== Low Fare
 

	
 
Conservancy aims to balance cost savings with convenience and considers
 
flights that are within US$100 of the lowest logical fare to be within
 
Policy.  Any flights greater than US$100 over the lowest logical fare
 
require written pre-authorization by Conservancy. PLCs shall use standard
 
air fare search sites for determining the baseline lowest fare.

search sites for determining the baseline lowest fare.  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.
 
Any widely-recognized airfare search site is acceptable, including sites such
 
as http://orbitz.com[Orbitz], http://kayak.com[Kayak] or

==== 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.
