Lodging Contracts

  • Preferred Hotel Program - Juneau, Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Bethel properties and rates are reflected in E-Travel Online with 5,4, or 3 Star rating.
  • NASPO TravelPoint - Nationwide properties and rates are reflected in E-Travel Online with a NASPO contract icon.

Vehicle Rental Contracts

Booking a contract rate is not mandatory, but recommended. The contract benefits include unlimited liability and collision coverage. Per AAM 60.120, if an agency elects to not use a contracted rental car company where available, the agency accepts responsibility to cover any physical damage to the rental car should it occur.

Traveler & Travel Desk Process Reminders

Airfare Guarantee

Airfare only guaranteed once an itinerary is approved and purchased

The first Alaska Airlines air fare quote is held for 24 hours. However, the 24-hour fare guarantee does not protect advance fare requirement for ticketing time limits. Other major carriers do not necessarily have the same policy. Air carriers do not allow for multiple holds. Changes in flight reservations are quoted but are not actually held until approved and air fares are not guaranteed until purchased. This is true for both preliminary and final itinerary changes.

Profile Name

The profile name used in E-Travel Online or given to an E-Travel Agent must be accurate. To obtain the correct profile name for a traveler or generic profile, a travel planner can view the list of profiles they are attached to in E-Travel Online. If the arranger has more than 50 profile associations, the traveler name or three-letter division code can be added to the Last Name field. If the name you are searching for is not listed, you may contact your Department Travel Administrator for further assistance.

Profile Changes

Changes to profiles (including changes to email addresses in the profiles)

Contact the Travel Administrator in your department. The list of Travel Administrators is available on the travel website.
