Default FDX - Bag Fees

Have you guys cracked the code on the expense report and baggage fees?

How do you file if you are on a scheduled trip? What fee classification do you use?

How do you file if you deviate on a trip? What fee classification do you use?

I don't want to eat up my deviation bank with these dumb bag fees if I can avoid it and classify them as something other than a deviation expense.

Thanks!

Just ran into the same thing. For scheduled there is a "baggage fee" selection in the pull down menu. The big question is how you file them on a deviation since that isn't one of the options.

Whether it is deviation or scheduled deadheading the category for baggage fees is always "scheduled". You do not have to have bank to cover the fees, but you do have to have 'a bank' in order to charge the bag fees to the company.

Once you pick "scheduled" then "baggage fees" the expense will move to a different part of the travel report and will no longer be charged towards your bank for the month.

Have done this MANY, MANY times.

If you email your crew travel auditor, you will get a response. Save that email for evidence, if needed. I have several saved emails from crew travel audit, not for this instance though.

I believe this is VERY good advice. If I ever have a question concerning an allowable expense ... I email my auditor. Assuming I get the reply I want, I attach a copy of the reply to my travel claim. I figure it's VERY unlikely they will put themselves on report.
