As of 1 Oct 2023, RTS (myFSS) is no longer being used for IMA/PIRR travel reimbursement. In addition, HOW DTS is used changed and the IDT lodging and IDT travel reimbursement process is different. Click the "DTS Transition" link at the top of the website for more information.
IDT Travel Pay
NEW! For grades E-7 and below, travel pay IS AUTHORIZED for travel to or from the place of IDT. For E-8, E-9 and officers, it may be authorized for specific AFSCs or duty locations, provided the member is traveling more than 150 miles to the assigned duty location. Each year a list of “Critical AFSCs” is posted in the IDT Travel Reimbursement Guide (see below). Those AFSCs are allowed travel reimbursement to their assigned duty location ONLY. For other duty locations, contact the Detachment or reference the
Joint Travel Regulation. Use the IDT Travel Reimbursement Guide (below) to determine your eligibility.
To submit for IDT travel reimbursement, submit an orders request for IDT Outside Normal Commute -- create a DTS authorization using the
IDT Travel Quick Guide.
Per Diem and rental cars are not authorized for IDTs. Use of the dining facility is authorized at no charge for enlisted airmen only, if available. Have a printed 40A to show at the DFAC to prove status.
For IMAs who don't qualify for IDT travel, one option is to combine AT and IDTs. You travel out and back on your AT travel entitlement and perform IDTs while you're there.
IDT Lodging
IRs must schedule their base lodging when the supervisor approves their requested IDT schedule in UTAPS-Web. Non-commuting IRs are authorized lodging reimbursement during the dates authorized on the UTAPS-Web generated AF Form 40A, including the night before duty begins. This applies to both paid and non-paid IDTs (outlined in the Joint Travel Regulation, para. 032303, Table 3-8, Rule 6). To claim lodging expenses, you'll submit a local voucher in DTS following the steps in the
IDT Lodging Quick Guide.
