Dear Georgetown University Traveler,
You may have read the recent administrative memo from the Purchasing and Contracts office indicating some changes regarding using West End Travel’s services.

West End Travel is happy to continue to assist you with your travel needs either by direct billing your cost center or by using your Georgetown University ProCard or your personal credit card according to the list below.

West End Travel will continue to:
