What happens if a traveler cancels a trip booked through DTS?

When a traveler cancels a trip booked through the Defense Travel System (DTS), it is essential for them to update their travel authorization and possibly cancel their reservations directly. This process ensures that the travel system is accurately reflecting their new travel status and helps prevent any issues with outstanding travel authorizations or reservations.

Updating the travel authorization allows the traveler to adjust their plans to match their current situation, whether they are postponing their trip or need to make a different travel arrangement altogether. Additionally, directly canceling any reservations, such as flights or accommodations, is crucial to avoid incurring unnecessary charges or fees. This proactive approach helps maintain the integrity of the travel process and ensures that all aspects of the trip are properly managed.
