Importance of Cancelling Airline Reservations in DTS
When a travel document that contains airline reservations is created in DTS, and is neither approved by an Authorizing Official (AO) nor cancelled by the traveler, DTS will continue to hold the airline reservation until the departure of the flight. Failure to approve the authorization or cancel the reservation may result in the airlines' inability to resell the reserved seat(s) and may prevent other travelers from obtaining reservations. AOs should approve documents as soon as possible to facilitate ticketing of the reservations three business day prior to travel. Travelers are also reminded to cancel reservations at the earliest opportunity once it is determined that the trip will not occur.
