* If you live in a country where work travel is prohibited on weekends, you may travel on Friday, December 8 and Monday, December 18, if you’d prefer (not required). For hotel, you will book and pay on your own, and expense the manager approved amount (which is coded to your cost center).

* If you plan to spend some extra personal time in Austin or nearby (choosing to arrive before Monday, December 11 or depart after Saturday, December 16), you'll need to create an itinerary in Egencia for standard dates/locations within the Austin Portal and compare to the custom dates/locations you'd like. Please share the difference via email to bmark@mozilla.com or through the approval comment box when you submit the flight. You can sway up to +$100 over and Mozilla will cover it. Otherwise you'll need to come with an alternate itinerary that fits within the pricing (like a round trip in and out of AUS w/ longer dates, and you personally book & cover the rest). We do not have the ability for employees to reimburse Mozilla for any overage. This scenario also applies for routing through different airports to/from Austin than your home airport (ex. a layover in Chicago for a few days, or flying out of DFW instead of AUS). In all cases, flights in and out of Austin should be booked via Egencia.
