1. RULES FOR BOOKING TRAVEL:
We will only reimburse economy travel.
If you choose to book your travel through Omni Travel, please
identify yourself as a CEPR Meetings participant as Omni are familiar
with our travel regulations. Omni Travel also offer an on-line
reservation service on the Internet at http://www.omnitravelservice.com
We expect you to display sufficient flexibility in your travel
plans to allow the travel agent to obtain a preferential fare for you.
If you have other commitments that constrain your travel plans and
prevent you from obtaining such a fare, please contact CEPR's Meetings
Manager before confirming your booking.
Please charge the fare to your credit card and seek reimbursement
from CEPR after the meeting, in accordance with the Centre's standard
guidelines for reimbursement.
CEPR's standard guidelines for reimbursement still apply to
journeys booked through Omni Travel or any other travel company. In
particular, we will not reimburse travel expenses for attendance at
CEPR meetings unless this has been offered in writing. The fact that
Omni Travel or your chosen travel company has made travel arrangements
for you does not automatically indicate the Centre will reimburse you
for this travel. You must receive written authorization in your letter
of invitation or alternatively, from CEPR's Meetings Manager, in order
to qualify for reimbursement.
2. INTERNET TRAVEL WEBSITES
There are hundreds of travel websites on the Internet, but there
does seem to be a difference between the level of information each
site can provide, whether the company is subject to the rules of a
travel regulator/s, how ‘user-friendly’ the site is and how easy
it is to actually make a booking. CEPR has conducted some research
into travel sites available (although this changes every day) and can
make a number of recommendations. Please email the
