Fly America Act

Foreign Per Diem
For planning a travel request, international travelers may want to refer to this schedule for anticipated meal allowances. It includes travel to Alaska and Hawaii.
Currency Exchange
If the receipt or bank statement does not show the transaction in U.S. dollars, the traveler must convert the amount spent to U.S. dollars.
- Foreign currency charges will be automatically converted in Concur when the invoices are added to the Expense Report. In case you are unable to use Concur please use OANDA to convert the foreign currency amount to U.S. dollars.
- Because exchange rates change daily, each transaction date must be converted. For example, expenditures in Euros for a three-day trip must be converted for each day of the trip.
- Indicate the exchange rate used on the receipts for each day of the trip.
