Our standard travel guidelines apply (pre-populated in Egencia) when booking with a few additional budget constraints. Anything booked outside of them will require approval. Most people will arrive on Monday, December 5th and leave on Saturday, December 10th. Here are some exceptions:
* If you live in a country where work travel is prohibited on weekends, you may travel on Friday, December 2nd and Monday, December 12th, if you’d prefer (not required). For hotel, you will book and pay on your own (per hotel instructions below), and expense the manager approved amount (which is coded to your cost center).* If you plan to spend some extra personal time in Hawaii (choosing to arrive before Monday, December 5th or depart after Saturday, December 10th), you'll need to pull create an itinerary in Egencia for standard dates/locations within the Hawaii Portaland compare to the custom dates you'd like. Please share the difference via email or through the approval comment box when you submit the flight. You can sway up to +$100 over and Mozilla will cover it. Otherwise you'll need to come with an alternate itinerary that fits within the pricing (like a round trip in and out of KOA w/ longer dates, and you personally book & cover the rest). We do not have the ability for employees to reimburse Mozilla for any overage.
* If you are attending the Monday Core Influencer's event (by invite).
* If you would like to arrive early to recover from jetlag, you will need manager approval for any additional costs associated with the extension. There is no unilateral "All Hands" approval based upon timezone to arrive early. For hotel, you will book and pay on your own (per hotel instructions below), and expense the manager approved amount (which is coded to your cost center).
We are all staying at the [http://www.hiltonwaikoloavillage.com/ Hilton Waikoloa Village]. "Every employee has one room. If you are bringing family members, each room can fit up to 4 people with an extra charge of $50 per extra guest (for the 3rd and 4th guests). Unfortunately the hotel is sold out and we do not have any extra rooms for additional family members beyond that during the week. There are other hotels in the area, see below under family for some options.
'''Everyone ''' will be required to present a form of payment on check-in for incidentals at $50 per day. This is a US resort standard and we aren't able to waive it (we tried).
We recommend providing a credit card. You can provide a debit card, but they do put a hold of funds on your card and has been problematic for some international travelers in the past. If you are not able to provide a credit or debit card, you can provide $150 USD cash.
