New Checklist Required for Restricted Airfare Use

As of February 27, 2013, the JFTR and the JTR require an Authorizing Official (AO) to complete a Restricted Fare Checklist as part of the decision process for determining the feasibility of using a restricted airfare. The checklist certifies that all decision factors were considered prior to the approval of purchasing a restricted airfare and if approved, the funding command accepts total financial responsibility for the restricted airline ticket should the trip be changed or cancelled for any official reason. The checklist must be certified by the appropriate AOs. AOs should check local business rules for information on using this form. To access the form, go to
