Can I combine personal travel with university business travel?

If you are planning a personal trip along with your university business travel, please remember to provide a quote for the airfare specifically related to your university business itinerary. This quote should only cover necessary travel without extra stopovers or trip extensions. You can get this quote from the airline's website where you purchased the tickets, but it must be generated on the same day as the purchase. Alternatively, you can request a quote from the travel desk: mcgill [at] dt.com

How will I receive the refund?

You will be refunded on the bank account you linked on Minerva.
