Military and government travelers including cost reimbursable Defense contractors and members of other Federal Government departments including State Department and Department of Energy employees on official TDY under the GSA per diem rate schedule are able to find and reserve hotels and temporary lodging directly through TDY Lodging at a significant cost savings to the government.  TDY lodging is a free service for Federal Travelers and is sustained by lodging providers opting into the program, who also benefit by avoiding 3rd party booking fees traditionally paid to hotel booking websites.  A win-win situation for government travelers, tax-payers, and lodging providers.  Millions of costly government travel programs are bypassed through TDY Lodging, as the government is able to find and reserve hotels and furnished accommodations directly through the website with no contract involved and no cost to taxpayers, currently footing the bill for costly government lodging programs including the Defense Travel System (DTS).
