Does DSA rate only cover accommodation expenses?

No. DSA rates are meant to cover accommodation, meals and incidentals while on an official travel. However, travel expenses (also known as ‘terminal’ or ‘airport’ expenses) at points of departure and arrival are covered through additional payments and are not included in the DSA rate.
