Christopherson Business Travel (CBT) is the university’s travel management company.
CBT is a certified woman-owned company with nearly 500 team members located in 30 states across the country. They provide dedicated travel agents to assist CU travelers with their business travel needs during business hours with additional agent support after-hours and on weekends.
There is a $20 service fee charged to the traveler/travel arranger when booking travel directly with a CBT agent. Both the service fee and any airfare booking made with a CBT agent will be charged to the university’s Airfare Card. The Airfare Card is a centrally managed card account used exclusively by CBT to pay for airline and other common carrier tickets for university travelers. Bookings paid with the Airfare Card will be automatically imported to the traveler’s or travel arranger’s Concur profile for reconciliation. Hotel and car bookings cannot be paid with the Airfare Card and will generally require payment by the traveler at the time of check-in/pick-up.
