That open the doors to 'what _is_ the cheapest fare' ? what degree of
reasonableness should be applied ( the 'cheapest' fare could entail 3
stop and an overnight lay-over...
and cheapest _when_ ?... on a typical flight there are more fare than
there are seat on the plane...)

I think the trick is to get approval _before_ the fact with a
'budgeted cost'... and reimbursement would be 'up-to' and approved
sum.
