Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 1a
Officers are allowed to pay reasonable upgrade fees to first class at the time tickets are purchased if that option is offered by the airline for a discounted first class fare. Officers may also upgrade to first class after the purchase of a ticket if the upgrade fee is reasonable. The organization does not pay for full fare full fare first class tickets.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
