New State Contracted Travel Agency Portal
Monday, January 04, 2021 at 1:59:14 PM

Beginning January 1, 2021, Christopherson Business Travel will be the new contracted travel agency for the State of Louisiana. At this time, it is a requirement that all travelers and arrangers have a profile with Christopherson Business Travel before making any travel arrangements. If you currently have a profile with Shorts Travel and the email address on file is correct, you should receive a welcome email from Airportal. You will need to verify your identity, confirm the information, and complete any additional required information within 24 hours after receiving the email. NOTE: The link will only remain active for 24 hours. Please do not delete the email as it is legitimate and not Spam or fraud. Per the Office of State Travel, emails will be going out on December 29th and 30th and January 5th, 6th, and 7th.

If a traveler does not respond to the welcome email within 24 hours, they will need to contact one of the department's Program Administrators via email (Richard Harbor at Richard.Harbor@la.gov or Ingrid Francis at Ingrid.Francis2@la.gov).

Any new user that needs to set up a profile must go to the following website: https://legacy.cbtravel.com/business/profile/stateofla/
