If you have a flood of offers, all equally attractive except for travel policy, then you can afford to indulge your appetite for premium class travel.

Otherwise you'll come over as a tad precious for an organisation where even the top dog travels in economy.

If you are still prevaricating, unable to swallow the hardship/indignity of travelling in Y even after they've offered a substantial sweetner, then I imagine you are not the only one questioning your fit with their organisation.
