Thanks Sam. Travel is a mixture of from mainland Europe and UK. I realised
that part of the request included accommodation (on my side) that was
more expensive than the on-site accommodation - this is based on my
practical requirements around travelling back very early in the morning
- and that this wasn't consistent with Debian guidelines about expenses.
As a result, I will only claim the portion of accommodation costs
that would be covered by the on-site costs and not the full amount which
should reduce the total a bit.

Thank you for this advice. We will look into this and decide which
route to take.
Best,
Dominic.
