There are several policy changes and reminders that employees should take into consideration if you have upcoming work-related travel planned:
REAL ID requirement starts May 7
- FP&M travelers must have a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or other acceptable form of identification to fly within the United States
- Prepare to be compliant ahead of the policy, which starts on May 7, 2025.
- Read more on the policy for acceptable forms of identification at the TSA Checkpoint.
Inclement Weather Procedures for En Route Flight Disruptions and Cancellations
- Flight changes and cancellations must be made with the UW contract travel management companies.
- However, if travel can be rebooked/accommodated at no cost, employees are allowed to work directly with the airline.
- Read more about Policy 410: Purchase and Payment of Airfare.
Weather Waivers
As winter continues into the new year, airlines are more likely to have to cancel or delay flights due to winter weather.
- If you have an upcoming flight that is at risk of being canceled and the airline has issued a waiver for the flight: Fox World Travel will contact you to review alternative flight options in advance.
- Do not contact the airline directly. This will result in Fox World Travel losing visibility to your reservation and any future flight schedule changes/cancellations.
