Central Airfare Billing System (CABS)
The Central Airfare Billing System (CABS) allows university
employees to make airline reservations and to directly bill
their airfare to the project that will be paying for their
trip. The procedure for using this system is as follows:
- Call one of the Authorized
Agencies found on the Travel web site, and ask them for a price
quote on airfare for the trip you will be taking. If you are satisfied
with this quote, inform them that you will be calling back with a
Travel Authorization number to direct bill the University.
- Fill out the CABS
Authorization Form (MS Word File), take it to Sandra
Neely (SN 108), or put it in her mailbox, and she will
make the necessary entry and approvals, and e-mail an
authorization number to you.
- You will then call back the Agency and give them the
authorization number.
- If you have a Frequent Flyer number for the airline
being used, check with the Agency to see if Frequent Flyer
miles can be awarded for CABS flights.
- Fill out the regular Travel form and process as
normal without the airfare included.
An advantage to this program is that employees do not
have to wait for an advance check for airfare or tie
up their credit cards or personal funds while waiting
for reimbursement. A disadvantage to the program
is that they *may* not receive the Frequent Flyer miles
(check with the Agency to be sure) or the insurance advantages
that their personal credit
card may give them. CABS is not a required procedure
at this point, only an option.
