Reasonable travel costs incurred by members on a trip on behalf of TDF are of course reimbursable upon board approval.
The policy though states that "TDF will reimburse or pay the cost... ...of the lowest coach class fare" - which I read that TDF does not insist on you actually booking coach. Norbert's remark is of course valid - so it's best to agree on a sum beforehand, instead of haggling over that after the fact.
