COVID-19 related airline cancellations reached unprecedented growth prior to the start of the current Travel Management Services award. This resulted in an increase of unused tickets that were transferred from the previous OGS contract (with Direct Travel (DT)) to the current OGS contract (with Knight Holdings LLC). Processing these unused tickets requires an additional, manual process for which Knight Holdings LLC has requested an additional Transaction Fee to be applied.
Per the contract Paragraph (21) of Section 3.1, Reservation and Fee Requirements, additional Transaction Fees associated with cancellations, refunds, voids, and/or exchanges can be requested in cases where the Governor of the State of New York or the President of the United States has declared a disaster or emergency for the location where the travel is to be made. Such declaration was made by the President of the United States on March 13, 2020 and remains in effect as of the date of this update.
In accordance with Section 3.1, Paragraph 21, OGS has approved Knight Holdings LLC’s request for an additional Transaction Fee. Accordingly, in addition to the existing Exchange Transaction Fee of $14.00, Knight Holdings LLC is approved to apply an Agent Assisted Airline Transaction Fee of $14.00 to a single transaction when an Authorized User utilizes the services of Knight Holdings LLC to voluntarily exchange or reissue unused airline tickets that were issued through Direct Travel. Once an unused ticket has been exchanged, or reissued, Knight Holdings LLC may no longer apply an additional Transaction Fee in service of that ticket (for example, if the newly exchanged or reissued unused ticket needs to be exchanged again at a later date, only the Exchange Transaction Fee may be charged at that time).
Airline imposed fees (including penalty fees) may apply for unused tickets, however no other Transaction Fees will apply to such transactions. Knight Holdings LLC must inform each Authorized User of the additional Transaction Fee at time of transaction and receive Authorized User approval before charging any additional Transaction Fee. Authorized Users that elect not to approve the additional Transaction Fee will have the option to exchange and reissue their unused tickets from Direct Travel directly with the airline.
All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
