    A. The common carrier fare, or the cost of charter or other special hire, if essential, and other similar fares as necessary for the efficient performance of official duties. No reimbursement shall be allowed for more than the lowest tourist class fare for the most direct route unless, the tourist-class accommodations were not available; or
