Unused Ticket Credits as a Result of COVID-19

Please email Travel@virginia.edu for more information before purchasing a new airline ticket. The University has many tickets that were canceled due to travel restrictions put in place due to COVID-19. There may be unused ticket credits in your department that can be used for your travel.

• American Airlines (AA) tickets issued in 2020 and 2021 will now expire on December 31, 2022. Travel must be booked and completed by the expiration date. Tickets issued in 2022 will be valid for 12 months from the original ticket issue date. If any unit has American Airlines tickets expiring on December 31, 2022 that will not be used (travel must be completed by 12/31/22), please email travel@virginia.edu so other departments can use them. 

• Please note extended validity dates for United Airlines tickets. Wholly unused open tickets purchased between May 1, 2019 and December 31, 2022 are now valid through December 31, 2023. Tickets issued on/after January 1, 2023 will be valid for 12 months from the original ticket issue date.

• On Delta, travelers will be able to rebook all existing unused tickets by December 31, 2023, for travel throughout 2024. Any unused tickets that were originally purchased in 2022 will also have the flexibility to rebook their ticket through December 31, 2023, and travel throughout 2024.

*The TravelUVA team sent updated reports of unused tickets to each MBU in mid-August. Please let us know if you have any questions by emailing Travel@virginia.edu.

Increase in mistakes expensing card transactions results in reimbursements to cardholder

Please ensure users select T&E card transactions to add to expense reports. If card transactions are not selected, a reimbursement will occur. Please review the top line of the expense report to ensure card transaction amounts appear in the Company Paid line before submitting.

International Travel Registry: Ensure your trip is reimbursed

Faculty and staff are required to register their international UVA business travel through the University's international travel registry

per the Faculty and Staff International Travel Policy. This registry has been put in place to keep our international travelers safe in case of an emergency and automatically enroll them in the CISI International Health and Emergency Assistance Program. 

CISI Coverage is now only available to those travelers who have registered their travel through the International Travel Registry. The blanket policy that previously covered every international employee traveler automatically is no longer in place.

The University may refuse to fund or reimburse any expenses connected with University-Related International Travel that have not been added to this registry. It is good practice to register travel when reservations are made. This is especially important for airline tickets and other travel arrangements booked using a T&E Card.

Please email Travel@virginia.edu with any questions.
