3. On-the-Spot Upgrades
Travelers may accept an unsolicited offer from the airline to upgrade their government ticket to a premium class of travel even if they are in uniform. However, senior officers must always consider the potential appearance of impropriety and it maybe prudent to decline the upgrade if traveling in uniform.
4. Airline Bump Rules
You may not volunteer to take a later flight in exchange for travel benefits offered by the airline if it will interfere with your mission. If there is no impact on the mission and no additional cost to the government, you may accept the travel benefits offered by the airline in exchange for taking a later flight.
An involuntarily bumped traveler is awaiting transportation for per diem and miscellaneous expense reimbursement therefore, any monetary compensation from the airline (including meal and/or lodging vouchers) for the denied seat belongs to the government. The service member must turn in all such items with the travel voucher.
D. Use Of Non-Tactical Vehicles
1. Domicile to Duty
Army Regulation 58-1 and federal law provide extremely narrow exceptions for the use of a non-tactical vehicle (NTV) between the place of duty and private domicile. Commanders should consult with an ethics counselor prior to using their NTV to travel to or from their domicile.

2. Travel to Commercial Air Terminals
Army Regulation 58-1, paragraphs 2-3 and 4-6, limit the circumstances under which a commander can use an NTV to travel to a commercial air terminal. Because each situation is fact-specific, consult with your ethics counselor.
3. Spousal NTV Travel
Spouses may travel in an NTV to an official function as long as space is available, the spouse’s presence does not bump a member of the official party, and the spouse’s presence does not require a larger vehicle.
