My company pays only for economy. I don't have a problem with that. Most flying is domestic. Only a few of us senior people fly international 4-6 times a year, and I look to upgrade with miles, or look for a deep discount ticket and pay the difference. It has been workable. Frankly, travel is such a burden, it is worth it to me to make it as least objectionable as I can. Plus, I arrive in better shape to be more productive. And I admit that international J or F can be quite comfortable. And at least we are allowed to make our own arrangements. More recently, I notice they have been encouraging people not to wait to the last minute to buy their domestic economy tickets. Now that is wasting money. I've paid 700 for domestic first on a flight a colleague paid 1100 for economy on because he was a procrastinator.
