Document EFTA00021123 appears to be an email thread regarding travel arrangements for someone at the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY). The emails discuss the process of booking refundable versus non-refundable flights, specifically for domestic travel.
The document consists of a series of emails from February 13, 2020, concerning a travel approval request. The discussion revolves around booking flights, with a focus on whether domestic flights need to be refundable and the implications of choosing penalty fares versus unrestricted coach fares. Specific flights between JFK and Pensacola (PNS) on Delta are mentioned for February 19 and 20.

Note, the return flight on 2/20 you chose is also not refundable, so I'm looking into other options for that flight as well. I'll send you those options shortly. U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) Legal Assistant, Public Corruption From: Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2020 1:51 PM To: Cc: Subject: RE: travel approval request We steer away from penalty flights in all instances. The change fees & cancellation risk is rarely ever worth it. Most penalty fees are $300. In the booking screen always scroll down and set the travel preferences for fare type preference to "unrestricted coach" That way the penalty fares won't even show up in your search. EFTA00021123

While checking out your flight options, I found a flight that will get you into Pensacola, FL around the same time as your preferred option that's fully refundable. The difference is that the flight leaves at 8:11am instead of 9:00am.

Also based on our discussion earlier we'll be mindful of looking for domestic (or domestic-flagged) carrier flights, as well as the costs of any alternatives, in looking at possible specific bookings.

Unfortunately we're still trying to pin down timing for interviewing the victims, so depending on the timing it will either be me and or and but we wanted to ask for permission now either way so we weren't doing it super last minute after the holiday on Tuesday.
