Wikileaks-Podesta Travel (non-discounts)
If you flag this please tell me why as I thought I was in line with rules...I'm making an observation/ answer to question (non-political) that I sure had and would be suprised if others didn't as well...
I assumed that going through the Podesta and similar emails I would find a treasure trove of special hotel/air discounts, codes to use for VIP upgrades, etc. I've found none of the above in fact of the few BP's I found they were for economy air or rail seats. Hotel rates appeared higher than my corp rate (although I couldn't compare exact dates) I'm really dissapointed, I really thought I would see into how the well connected travel better than I. In fact, I see that they seem to get the same Hotwire spam emails as we do too.
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I'm curious if you fellow travel nerds found anything???

No, guess the Government rates good enough for them...
I mean he does get to travel in motorcades and has been on Air Force one, I can't imagine going back to economy on American after that. Heck I've been on private jets a handful of times and it's so much harder for me to fly commercial, although I do weekly.

Of most of the people whom I know to be close to HRC, they seem to be flying mostly economy class and not staying at very posh hotels/resorts when it comes to personal travel. There are some exceptions of course. Did Wikileaks mention anything about Aman resorts?
