mentioned to me that you told her I had purchased refundable flights, but that’s not quite right – I had asked you to make sure to get refundable tickets on the flights I listed below. Could you please double check and confirm that the flights you got for me are in fact refundable tickets?¶
thanks,¶
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.¶
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:¶
-
Monday, 2/3, 8:15 p.m. departure from JFK, landing at 2:25 p.m. in Stockholm on 2/4, with a layover in London (American Airlines)
-
Thursday, 2/6, 11:40 a.m. departure from Stockholm, landing at 7:30 p.m. at JFK, with a layover in London (American Airlines)

Subject: RE: travel approval request¶
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.¶
