I'm sorry but if one is claiming this travel expense, then the other cannot.
Quoting from the CRA website - "You cannot claim a deduction for travel benefits if:
- you or any member of your household received or was entitled to receive non-taxable amounts as travel assistance, a travel allowance, or as a reimbursement for travel expenses; or
- someone else has already claimed the deduction for travel benefits for this trip on their return."
This is from the link below directly from the CRA:
Line 255 - How much can you claim as a deduction for travel benefits?
