Travel Guidance Q&A on the JLab Website
As a JLab business traveler, you need to check the new updates on the Travel Guidance Q&A page. Do you have questions about getting paid if you upgrade your seat on an airline or whether you can get advance reimbursement for a registration fee you paid on your personal credit card? If so, this section of the Travel website can be valuable to you. If you have a question that is not answered there, contact Carol Kinsey, x7519.
