Quick Scoop

The statement that is **not true** about booking official flights is: **“You should always try to select a flight on a U.S. flag carrier.”**

Why

For official travel, the other choices are generally aligned with cost-saving rules: using economy or coach, choosing the least expensive fare, and using GSA City Pair flights when available.

The “U.S. flag carrier” part is the one that is not an absolute rule, since exceptions can apply depending on route, availability, and official travel policy.

Answer

  • Not true: You should always try to select a flight on a U.S. flag carrier.

Context

This question appears in the common government-travel policy format where the correct idea is to prioritize the lowest appropriate cost and approved fare options, not to require one specific airline nationality in every case.
