Air Travel Arrangements

Air Travel Policy

Traveling for Lafayette College business (meaning the College will be paying for travel) can be done through the American Express ON-LINE System (previously called “Rezport”) or one of the College-approved travel agents.

The two College-approved travel agents are:

Emanuel Travel Service @ 610-252-7376
Rosenbluth Travel (Now American Express branch) @ 610-758-4800
(NOTE: Travel agents will charge an additional service fee of $35 or $40)

When using one of the two listed agents, you only need to tell them which department you are from and the Purchasing Department will get a statement from American Express on our BTA account which we will then request an account to charge from the department to be approved by the Head of the Department.

On-Line Booking

Travel may be booked through the American Express (previously called “rezport”) On-Line program. You will need a sign-on and password, which is available through the Purchasing Department by contacting Patty Curto (x5017). You will be able to view various flights available and pricing. When you book the flight on-line, you will get an electronic ticket and the charge will be placed on the Lafayette College American Express Business Travel account. When the statement is received by the Purchasing Department, the purchasing department will request the budget account number and approval or if notified, purchasing will send to the Provost’s Office for account and approval.

Booking on a Personal Credit Card

If you make the decision to book your flight on your own and charge a personal credit card, you will not get reimbursed by the Controller’s office until after the flight. (Depending on how early you book, you may have to pay your charge card company and wait a couple of months for the reimbursement).
