Federal Travel Guide 2003 Bumpy Ride
hange is the only constant" certainly applies to federal travel. Every year government workers must keep up with the continuing evolution of the federal travel arena. For starters, this year brought:
- Changes in airline schedules and security procedures, not to mention a shift in attitudes about air travel in general, following the Sept. 11 attacks.
- Revelations of travel card abuses.
- The beginning of a shift from a traditional per diem lodging structure to the Federal Premier Lodging Program.
- A law that allows workers to keep frequent flier miles.
- The launching of the federal eTravel Initiative.
You'll find news, tips and wisdom from fellow travelers to help you navigate this rocky terrain every month in Government Executive and www.govexec.com. We'd like to extend our thanks to all the federal travelers who have shared their experiences - and their questions - this year.
