Some of the richest people I know would not scoff at taking $1000. I didnt mean to sound condescending. It just my opinion (and my policy as a boss) that the reason we spend so much on employee airfare is we get it back in productivity. The $1000 deal you speak of kind of diminishes the point of the premium class ticket. If your employer is willing to give you a $1000 bonus to fly Y, Im surprised he does not just require everyone to fly Y anyway since he obviously does not think the J class ticket is very important to incrase productivity
