Which statement is not true about the GSA City Pair program?

The statement that an Authorizing Official (AO) can authorize the use of a non-contract City Pair flight is not true. The GSA City Pair Program is designed to provide federal travelers with discounted airfares on contract flights that have been specifically negotiated by the General Services Administration. These contracts often include important provisions like cost-effectiveness and availability tailored for government travel.

The program aims to provide a reliable and economical solution for federal travel, which means that travelers are typically expected to use the contract City Pair flights rather than seeking out non-contract alternatives. Non-contract flights may not have the same pricing structure or benefits as contracted flights, making them less advantageous for government travel.

In contrast, the other statements accurately reflect the program's features. The City Pair flights are generally less expensive, which is a primary reason for their use. They are not intended for personal, leisure travel for uniformed members, as the City Pair program is solely for official government travel. Additionally, the City Pair flights can indeed be adjusted to meet government travel needs, making them a flexible option for various travel scenarios.
