Just wondering if you can elighten me on this. My husband and I are both government employees (one federal, one local). How would we go about booking the CA fairs on airlines without going through the travel site that we're required to use for official travel (and which allows us to book official travel only, no personal trips)? Even if we can only get one discounted fare, that would certainly help us out in terms of travel now that we've got 3 tickets to purchase (me, husband, daughter). Any insight you could offer to this novice would be highly appreciated!
