Travel standing expectations

Good morning fellow travelers,

I'm an avid reader of the forum but do not feel I have the experience to contribute much. Now that that I face a new challenge I need some advice.

I received a job offer out of the blue from a head hunter working for a large american company. They want to develop a their market in the African Sub-Saharan region, where I have extensive knowledge an expertise.

The job title is Sales Manager. I would be working from home, on the east cost, and traveling 55% of my time to Africa.

My question is the following:

What kind of travel standing should I expect or request from my employer? (ie: flight class, hotel class, per diem, ect.)

Since this job as such a significant aspect of travel, I'm a little lost on what to expect. I do not need to take the job as I'm currently employed and happy, but the job description sound great and want to make sure I get a fair deal.

Thank you all for your help!
