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.
