Authorizes a Member to use his or her Allowance for such a payment if he or she certifies in writing to the Committee that any of the following applies:

  • the use is necessary to accommodate a medical disability or other special need, as demonstrated by such documentation as the Committee may require;
  • no accommodations other than first-class are reasonably available given the timing of the travel, but only if the travel is urgent and its purpose may not be carried out on alternative dates;
  • the use is necessary because of exceptional security circumstances or other exceptional circumstances;
  • it will result in an overall cost savings by avoiding additional subsistence costs, overtime, or lost productive time while awaiting coach-class accommodations; or
  • the length of the flight is five hours or greater.
