Hopefully all of my colleagues will boycott a BE mandate.
Anyone know what the US Gov will do with their official travel portals?
I thought gov't fares are some special iteration of Y fares, with airlines being contracted by route at whatever the special fare is. I would imagine they don't have to worry about being booked into BE.
