Privately held Fortune 50 company. Policy is any flight over 5 hours can be booked in business class. But our booking portal limits it to the cheapest fares and airlines as "company approved." Can select the more expensive ones if availability or travel dates impact the travel itinerary though. I often just rationalize it by saying that I'm more productive off a plane than on a plane, so going for the more expensive routing has worked for me in the past.
