Now if they could only save money on DTS? You could save over $500 million if the USG attained Priceline.com prices for traveling on orders or TDY. In 2011,the price of the ticket for going to Hawaii ,for Operation Key Resolve, I could have taken 2 family members to Hawaii for the same price in addition to myself. Three people for the price of one. I know the ticket is changeable but most the time that doesn't happen but for $2,500? That ticket could have cost me $800 to fly from Edmonton, Alberta Canada to Los Angeles to Oahu. I'm just one person. Can you imagine if all the armed services got a better deal instead of going through Carlson- wagonlit for everything? President Bill Clinton set up this expensive travel at ranging way back in the 90s. I have seen on orders where it says if you do not use their travel agency you will not be reimbursed for your ticket.
