Lowest Logical Fare (LLF) - Overview

• Companies are always interested in controlling the costs associated with their corporate travel. But they also want to ensure that their employees are not unduly inconvenienced and remain productive during travel and upon arrival and that good use of their time is made. As a result, the travel policies that are put in place by company administrators and travel managers need to strike a balance between these two objectives and define an accurate way to compare fares when making in-policy decisions. This is where lowest logical fare is extremely helpful. Lowest logical fare is a mechanism for calculating what the lowest fare for a given itinerary is while still adhering to a company’s travel policy.
• When companies create travel policies, they generally seek to define parameters for their lowest logical fare calculation that will accommodate both the needs of the traveler and their corporate financial budget. The parameters defined are then used to find the lowest-cost itineraries (excluding any fares that the policy has restricted) and compare them to fares that may cost a little more but offer shorter layovers, more convenient departure times, or a fewer number of stops. That resultant lowest logical fare value is then used to present viable in-policy travel options to the user.
