you get to make the final decision.

I’m fine with either one.

Importance: High

What do you guys think? The Sheraton seems pretty standard, located in city center, and it should be easy to get a conference room there.

Or if you’d rather stay somewhere less standardized, the Hotel Kung Carl is also in the city center, seems well reviewed, and has meeting rooms.

Importance: High

Good morning all,

I’ve searched previously in anticipation of your trip to Stockholm, Sweden between the original dates between 1/27 – 1/31/20, and a few were within per diem, but those same hotels now are either sold out, or over per diem. I’ve screen captured a few of the hotels that popped up in my search this morning. I’ve hid the sold out hotels within the Stockholm area.

In my opinion, the best hotel option is Sheraton Stockholm Hotel that’s about $66 over per diem. Since it’s out of our control, we’ll need to book a hotel over per diem. If you agree that I should reserve the Sheraton Stockholm Hotel, I’ll inform of the issue so we could get approval to reserve a hotel over per diem and fill out the forms to give to him to sign. In the meantime, I’ll see if I could reserve your preferred flights so they don’t get sold out either.

Thanks for informing me.

similar request from me for the same trip, if you could please book the following refundable tickets –

-Monday, 2/3, Delta, 6:40 p.m. departure from JFK, landing at 11:55 a.m. in Stockholm(ARN) on 2/4, with a layover in Paris
-Friday, 2/7, Delta, 12:45 p.m. departure from Stockholm(ARN), landing at 9:55 p.m. at JFK, with a layover in Paris

Note that it appears this set of flights is only available in premium economy but those seats are cheaper than any other flights on those days in regular economy seating. Please let me know if e2 or EOUSA says we have to fly regular economy (and therefore spend more money) and I can look at other flight times.

Separately, could you also please take a look at hotel options in downtown Sweden that are within the per diem allowance? We generally need to be in this area, downtown:

I looked for a long time and literally didn’t see anything at $196 or below, so if you could please take a look and let us know three or four options, we can take a look at those.

thanks very much,

For this trip, could you please help with booking flights? If you could please book the following refundable ticket, that would be very much appreciated:

Similar to prior requests in connection with the Epstein investigation (2018R01618), but with an added international element, we’d like to please request permission for the team to travel next week for an interview near Stockholm, Sweden, next week on January 29th and/or 30th. We expect to be traveling, respectively, some combination of the 27th (overnight) to the 31st, depending on when the interview ends up being scheduled, and we’ll put final dates on our formal applications. Also similar to prior trips, we’d like to request approval to get a conference room for one of those days at a hotel for the interview itself.

Also based on our discussion earlier we’ll be mindful of looking for domestic (or domestic-flagged) carrier flights, as well as the costs of any alternatives, in looking at possible specific bookings. Thanks as always for your help and input on that.

thank you,

Similar to prior requests in connection with the Epstein investigation (2018R01618), we’d like to please request permission for the team to travel next week for an interview (or possibly interviews) in Los Angeles on December 16 and/or 17. We expect to be traveling, respectively, some combination of the 15th to the 18th. Also similar to prior trips, we’d like to request approval to get a conference room for one of those days.

thank you,
