VP approval if travel isn't booked 14 days in advance.
The objective is to save money so time is of the essence. The cost of the flight can easily go up by 50% or more in the 3 days it takes to obtain approval. Doh!
The people who create our travel policies only ever travel as far as their local supermarkets and have absolutely no idea about making travel easier for those of us who have to travel on a regular basis as part of our jobs.
Every point on the travel policy boils down to 'lowest possible fare'. Thanks a bunch my company! It makes me feel so special that you think so much of me. When I win the lottery I will tell you face-to-face where to stick your travel policy.
