oecnomical ucually traveled routs. Travel tl' )ther routes iscr
be allowed when the official necessity therefor is eatisfactorily
established.
"10. Indirect-route travel. - In case a person travels by an
indfl.rect-route for hie own pervonal convenieece, the extra exrenee
rill be borne by himself and reimbureereent for expenees will be
bored only on such charges as uere actually tncurred, not to ox-
cid 411at wcuId have been incurred by the moist economieal urually
troveied route."
h. Travel unewr the above paraeraphs ie reqUired to be by the
morl, ceonom.leal usually traveled euthcrized ticketed route or one eival-
e..i'e the cart thereof. It is etparen that any eaceptione must be jUstte
?Jed on the basis e official necessity, or the cost is attributable to
the em.0.07et. Ther.forP0 if on enployee or his dependents travel by an
inc4imot-routo for their convenience, the employee will be reimbursed
only to the extent of the charccs that would have 'pern incurred by the
mort ,,cononical usrPlly tiaveled route. Employees and their dependents
are aethfriecd to travel by either air or vessel, and in the event travel
by air in la eeccer of travel by vescel the excess is allowable eithout
rerand to the colq.arative cotta of traesportation by aircraft with other
moes of tranrportation. (Act of June 230 1938, 52 Stat. 983)
5. Illustrative of the atom principle is 18 Comp. Oen. 971, wherein
it has held that upin a change of ttation the employees deeendents may
procadei accompany, or follow him to hie new post,' and reiebursoment oi
25X1A the eee,onee rf the travel is limit. :d to the cost of travel over the direot
In that case the family accamianied the euployre from
upon change of etation with orders to pretioed

State. It appeared that the dependents could havm traveled from the Old
to the ne* poet via New Orleans at a lesser cost to the Government. It was,
thercLorel held t.eut travel by the vessels of the Delta Lime was more direct
and economical than that via any other available rotte and, therefore, the
travel throl!,ii that line was cceePered as establishing the ehorteet newel-
c vessels 11
ly treveled route between the points involved.
C. The Conptroller has also had occasion to co-ament on the employeets
right to nake alteenate arrengements where travel is not reasonably
atilt vs the -lert economical usually traveled rotto. In 18 Comp. Gen. 973,
quetinf: from the syllabus, it was helds
25X1A "Where the rervices of a Foreign Service clerk aro urgently needed
at hit new port o duty in and of the Delta Line via
New c,r1cnns - the -lost economical usually traveled route between the
points involved - are not available for firet-clase minimum accomm4 -

port is authorized notwithstanding the additional eniense involved,
but -ere earlier arrival vtluI3 not of /teal' excuse a failure to
