As you know, the Site Selection Committee is in the process of selecting a location for our new eastern regional office. We have been asked by the Committee to provide input on the travel portion of the proposed site locations. It is expected that there will be considerable commercial air travel between our headquarters in Houston and the location of the regional office. Total travel between the two cities will probably amount to over 1,000 round trips per year. Approximately one-half of the tickets will be advanced purchase (two plus weeks prior to departure) and one-half will be for immediate travel (typically within a couple of days of purchasing the ticket). All data should be for nonstop flights. It is rare that any of our personnel travel over the weekend. Most trips are completed between Sunday evening and Saturday morning of the same week. The expected volume of travel will allow us to negotiate a fare plan with one, or more, of the air carriers that serve both Houston and the selected city. That negotiation, however, is in the future. Right now we just need to know which city provides the most advantageous travel conditions.
