let take for example a place like brussels, where i travel a lot for work....most of my trips are for a day or 2 at the most....

my firm will bill the client anywhere from $7k - $15k a day for a partner, if he is traveling outside the country....the fare from del-bru is about $1,000 in economy & $3,500 in business....so if the partner travels in economy & gets there a day before then the least the client would have to pay is $7k into 2 days + $1k for economy travel, which comes to $15k....if he travels for only one day then the client pays $7k into one day + $3.5k for business travel, which comes to $10.5k....
