ALP Reimbursement Policies and Form

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the ALP this year. Please review carefully details related to planning your trip.

Getting There

Flying to Kansas City

ALP attendees will book their own air travel to Kansas City International Airport (MCI). To help CUPA-HR manage costs by purchasing tickets at lower fares, we recommend that you check flight prices on sites such as Expedia or Google Flights and purchase at least four weeks before your departure date.

Chapter Leaders: CUPA-HR will reimburse round-trip, main cabin airfare up to $550. Expenses that exceed that amount, as well as any baggage and airport parking expenses, should be covered by your chapter.

Before you book your flight, be sure to:

  • Complete your ALP registration.
  • Take note of your designated arrival and departure dates noted below and in your registration confirmation email.

CUPA-HR has arranged for a discount on flights booked through Delta (although you may use any airline you wish). To take advantage of the discount, book your flight on the Delta Airlines website and enter Meeting Code NM3G3 during the booking process (please note that using the code may limit what flight times are available). 

To be reimbursed for airfare, follow the instructions on the reimbursement page.
