Sec. 301-10.124  When may I use premium-class other than first-class airline accommodations?

    Only when your agency specifically authorizes/approves your use of 
such accommodations under paragraphs (a) through (i) of this section:
    (a) Regularly scheduled flights between origin/destination points 
(including connecting points) provide only premium-class accommodations 
and you certify such on your voucher; or
    (b) No space is available in coach-class accommodations in time to 
accomplish the mission, which is urgent and cannot be postponed; or
    (c) When use of premium-class other than first-class accommodations 
is necessary to accommodate your disability or other special need. 
Disability must be substantiated in writing by a competent medical 
authority. Special need must be substantiated in writing according to 
your agency's procedures. If you are authorized under Sec. 301-13.3(a) 
of this chapter to have an attendant accompany you, your agency also may 
authorize the attendant to use premium-class other than first-class 
accommodations if you require the attendant's services en route; or
    (d) Security purposes or exceptional circumstances as determined by 
your agency make the use of premium-class other than first-class 
accommodations essential to the successful performance of the agency's 
mission; or
    (e) Coach-class accommodations on an authorized/approved foreign air 
carrier do not provide adequate sanitation or health standards; or
    (f) The use results in an overall cost savings to the Government by 
avoiding additional subsistence costs, overtime, or lost productive time 
while awaiting coach-class accommodations; or
    (g) Your transportation costs are paid in full through agency 
acceptance of payment from a non-federal source in accordance with 
chapter 304 of this title; or
    (h) Where the origin and/or destination is OCONUS and the scheduled 
flight time is in excess of 14 hours. In this instance you will not be 
eligible for a rest stop en route or a rest period upon arrival at your 
duty site;
    (i) When required because of agency mission.

    Note to Sec. 301-10.124: You may upgrade to premium-class other than 
first-class at your personal expense, including through redemption of 
frequent flyer benefits.
