Air Travel

  • To avoid paying unnecessarily high airfare, all flights must be booked by July 9. Expenses will be reviewed by the executive leadership team.

  • Flights will be direct billed to the firm. Please follow the firm’s Business Travel Policy when booking your flight.

Ground Transportation

  • Travel expenses, including parking, mileage, taxi, and rideshare apps will be reimbursed after the academy.
  • For those who rent a car, please book along with your flights through Corporate Travel Management and limit to an intermediate or smaller size car. Kindly decline rental insurance as pre-existing firm policies cover all risk. Plan to refuel the car before returning it to avoid high gas charges. If you extend your stay in the Bay Area for personal reasons, the rental will be reimbursed at a prorated amount of the total cost.
