My company gives me a budget of X.

Therefore, so long as I stay under or at X, it should be no concern of their if I got a discount or not. They were prepared to give me X and I am within budget if I do not exceed it. So the $200 dollar flight vs the $230 should not matter.

However, I used to get funny looks when they found I was in F much of the time. They did not understand how airmiles worked. They simply thought I was being haughty. I could point out that I paid coach price for each F ticket, but it didn't matter.

However, I still come in below budget compared to my colleagues who insist that WN saves them money and fly coach all the time.
