| | A member performing PCS travel is entitled to the travel time allowable to complete the PCS move.� A member reassigned between activities at the same PDS is allowed no travel time.� If PCS orders are amended, modified, canceled or revoked en route, travel time is allowed between the same points as were used to determine the member's entitlement to travel allowances.� In cases involving two afloat units or an afloat unit and a shore activity, the location of the unit(s) on the departure date or the planned location at the arrival date are used to determine entitlement to travel time.� The "arrival date" and "departure date" are the authorized days of arrival, reporting, detachment, departure, sign in or sign out as used by the Service concerned.� The maximum travel time that may be allowed under this paragraph is that which would have been allowed under subpar. B had travel been performed entirely by POC.� In computing travel time, the miles from the home, office, or residence to the local common carrier terminal or vice versa, are disregarded. Except as prescribed in par. U5120-H, travel time is computed under subpars. B, C, D, E, F and G.� Travel time allowed may differ from the time allowed for per diem computation purposes. |

| | Generally, 1 day of travel time is allowed for each 350 miles of official distance of ordered travel.� If the excess is 51 miles or more after dividing the total number of miles by 350, one additionally day of travel time is allowed.� When the total official distance is 400 miles or less, 1 day's travel time is allowed.� See par. U5100 NOTE.� See subpar. H for additional travel time authority. |

|
| | Travel time for travel by Government conveyance (except Government automobile) and/or common carriers obtained by Government-procured transportation is allowed for the actual time needed to travel over the direct route including necessary delays for the transportation mode used.� Travel time for travel by Government automobile is computed under subpar.

| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 
|
| | Step 1--Determine the official distance between authorized travel points as prescribed in par. U5155; | 
|
|

| |                                                                                                                                                   |

| |                                                                                                                                                 |

|
| | Example 1:� Official distance 1,500 miles; member travels 800 by POC, 600 by rail, and 900 by air.� Travel time is authorized for 800 miles of POC travel (3 days) plus one day for travel by commercial carrier, for a total of 4 days. |

|
| | Example 2:� Official distance 1,000 miles; member travels 800 miles by POC, and 700 miles by air.� Travel time for 800 miles by POC (3 days) plus one day for travel by air equals 4 days.� Comparing 4 days to 3 days (maximum authorized if POC used for entire distance) results in authorized travel time of 3 days. |

| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 
|
| | Example 3:� Official distance 385 miles; member travels 200 miles by POC, and 500 miles by air.� Travel time is allowed for 200 miles by POC (1 day) plus one day for travel by air; however, since the total distance is less than 400 miles, only one day travel time is allowed. |
