We have to be at the destination mid-morning on Monday, if we can accomplish this leaving Monday great, otherwise some travel on Sunday may be required.
Same here. But B and C are taxable, so you end up paying 25-35% of the cost. If you stay at the project and don't fly anyone out, hotels & expenses up to normal travel costs are reimbursed.

1st flight out Monday, last flight out Thursday is "standard". Friday afternoon is common, Sunday less so.
