Sec. 301-10.116 What must I do with compensation an airline gives me if it denies me a seat on a plane?

If you are performing official travel and a carrier denies you a
confirmed reserved seat on a plane, you must give your agency any
payment you receive for liquidated damages. You must ensure the carrier
shows the ``Treasurer of the United States'' as payee on the
compensation check and then forward the payment to the appropriate
agency official.

Subpart B--Common Carrier Transportation

Sec. 301-10.117 May I keep compensation an airline gives me for voluntarily vacating my seat on my scheduled airline flight when the airline asks for
volunteers?

Yes:
(a) If voluntarily vacating your seat will not interfere with
performing your official duties; and
(b) If additional travel expenses, incurred as a result of vacating
your seat, are borne by you and are not reimbursed; but
(c) If volunteering delays your travel during duty hours, your
agency will charge you with annual leave for the additional hours.
