As long as the flight cost is still the same (that is, under $800), I’d like to keep the outbound date as the 7th, please. **From:** Alleyne, Darlene (USANYS) **Sent:** Tuesday, January 28, 2020 11:22 **Cc:** Duncan, Michele (USANYS) Subject: RE: travel approval request (1/24/20 Itinerary Reissued) Okay, do you want to change the departing date to 2/6/20 as well, or do you still want to leave Stockholm, Sweden on 2/7/20? Let me know. Thanks. ## Darlene Alleyne U. S.

Got it, thanks. Given the extreme disparity in cost between the flights, and since I didn’t realize mine would be nearly as expensive, I’ve moved my schedule around so that I can make it work for the flights Alison is on. Could you please change me to those flights? That should drop my flight cost down from about $5,000 to less than $800. (And please just let me know if for some reason the cost is different now for those other flights.) Thank you!! **From:** Alleyne, Darlene (USANYS) **Sent:** Tuesday, January 28, 2020 08:56 **Cc:** Duncan, Michele (USANYS) < >; Perez, Cynthia (USANYS) <*CPerez3@usa.doj.gov*> Subject: RE: travel approval request (1/24/20 Itinerary Reissued) The only ones cheaper are the scheduled flights that Alison and Maurene have. I called CWT Sato and went through all the options yesterday. Your present itinerary is the best option for you. Darlene Alleyne U. S.

Got it – but just to confirm, are there no other flights at all that are cheaper than the one I originally mentioned? I don’t see any that are cheaper, but I also don’t see the ones that Alison got when I do a search. Just want to make absolutely sure – thanks!

I’ve contacted CWT Sato and we’ve exhausted all of the options that are fully refundable and that are close to the original schedule of your present itinerary. The only options for fully refundable flights are the ones either or reserved, and you made it clear that their scheduled flights weren’t optimal for you. It’s best that you keep your present itinerary. Thanks for your patience and I hope we can move forward from this experience in a positive manner. ## Darlene Alleyne U.S. Attorney’s Office (SDNY) Legal Assistant, Public Corruption (212) 637-2437 ## From:

Darlene, I'm not upset at all, and I have every confidence that you'll continue to thoroughly assist us as you've done in the past. I wanted to note that I had requested refundable flights and that it was frustrating that we didn't know you were leaving in the middle of the day when this was ongoing, and we've covered that, so I don't feel any need to belabor it. I certainly understand it’s complicated, and it wouldn’t have been my choice to schedule it just a week and a half before – that was due to witness availability. I appreciate your help on all of our travel and it would be helpful for me to know what the flight options are if the one I had originally wanted is too expensive – when I looked on E2, it was the cheapest option available, which is why I requested it. If you could please let me know what other flights are available that are cheaper, I would be grateful. thanks very much, Alex.
