Airfare Price Match Request |
| One of the most common questions raised since the start of the travel initiative relates to what to do if you believe that you have found airfare with a lower price than what you can find through CTP or their online booking tool (Concur). In the vast majority of cases, flights booked through CTP or their online booking tool Concur cost the same or less than they would through third-party websites. But if you believe you have found a fare that has a better advertised price than through a quote from a CTP full service agent or the online booking tool (Concur), the Travel website explains how to use the Airfare Price Match Request Form (NO LONGER AVAILABLE) to seek a review.
