DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAVELER AND ARRANGER
A traveler is able to book travel for themselves but not for others. They can:
- request access to the UConn Orbitz for Business site by an excel file or individually
- book a ticket with a $5 agency fee to be charged to the centralized billing card or their personal credit card
- View their "My Trips" to see any trips they have booked on the OFB site
- Set their Care Alerts so that they are notified of any flight changes
- Book hotels and rental cars
- Cancel flights within 24 hours of making a booking ($5 charge still applies)

For the moment, please email Lauren LeBlanc requesting access. Please include:
- First and Last name (no nicknames)
- Employee number
- Affiliation (faculty or staff only, we are not giving access to students at the present time)

I will notify you via email once you have been set up

CENTRALIZED BILLING CARD INFORMATION
OFB allows you to charge a ticket, to a centralized billing card (similar to Worldtek or Sanditz) as part of the reservation process. Anyone that has access to the system, will also have access to the centralized billing card.
