Sailors Need Travel Documentation

Week of December 15, 2008

Navy Gateway Inns and Suites (NGIS) program managers are reminding military travelers that a certificate of non-availability (CNA) must accompany travel claims to receive reimbursement for lodging through the Defense Travel System (DTS) if NGIS and Navy Lodge rooms are not available. When neither government lodging program has rooms, the traveler will receive a CNA from the NGIS central reservations/front desk and a suggested list of civilian lodging facilities in the area. Military travelers will be unable to receive reimbursement for lodging unless a CNA accompanies their travel claim when processing their liquidation documents through DTS. Military and civilian travelers may make reservations for most NGIS operations by using the DoD Lodging Net website or by calling 1-877-NAVYBED.
