That's a 2018 expense, provided that the expense qualifies for the deduction. For individual tax returns, you claim deductions in the year they were "constructively paid", and not in the year that you were using the proceeds of the benefit. Even though travel isn't until 2019, if you paid for it in 2018, it is a 2018 expense.
