Flights

You can purchase your own flight and get reimbursed, but please make sure you are aware of 51°µÍø policies. 51°µÍø will not pay for any flight upgrades (business class, exit row, Wi-Fi, early check in, etc.) but will pay for luggage if there is an associated fee. You will need to email Kate Kimmis at kkimmis@smu.edu with itemized receipts showing proof of type of payment (typically the last four digits of the credit card). 

To have Kate Kimmis coordinate it, please email kkimmis@smu.edu with the following: 

• Departure airport
• Arrival airport
• Departure time preferences for both flights (this can be specific if you have chosen a flight or a general time frame)
• Full name (including title and middle name if applicable)
• Gender (male and female are the only allowed options)
• Birthday
• Phone number
• Email address
• Known Travel Number (if applicable)
• DHS Redress Number (if applicable)
• Preferred airline and reward account number (if applicable)

Car Services

51°µÍø cannot coordinate rental cars on someone's behalf. Most people choose to use a taxi service (Lyft, Uber, etc.) rather than rent a car. To do this, please collect all receipts for your rides and email them to Kate Kimmis at kkimmis@smu.edu. 

Hotel

51°µÍø does not coordinate booking hotels for those traveling from campus. Please do this on your own and submit the receipts to Kate Kimmis at kkimmis@smu.edu for reimbursement.
