Better keep your own integrity and make your career about you, not your employer.
My employer flies me (or any employee) in First or Business on any sector above 3 hrs. Any sector below, you can pick your own flights in Y so long as its reasonable.. ie.. you want to leave at noon and the ticket is $500, but if you left at 11:30 the ticket was $200.
If the 8 AM ticket was $100 and the noon ticket $500, I would be allowed to book the noon.
Mine is lowest fare on preferred carrier.

Even as a customer, why would I pay to fly you somewhere in domestic J or international F? That is in poor taste. Just like a sales rep that pulls up to his customer's place of business in a Ferrari. I am fine with the Ferrari, but drive the Honda to see your customer.
To show that he is successful and that he has done a good job doing his job.

That would be the lowest fare at time of booking if N, G, P, E, A=0
