The Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour advises that benefits under frequent flier schemes may be retained by individual civil servants in recognition of the fact that official travel is disruptive to personal and family life. Accordingly, my Department permits Officers travelling on official business on behalf of the Department to retain any frequent flyer points earned.
