Your Company Travel Policy - how does it work?
Hi Fellow FT members - I have a bit of an unusual question: the times that I have been on FT I have been amazed by the number of business travelers who get to fly first class or seem to frequently get to stay at top hotel chains like Mandarin Oriental, Peninsula, etc. I have mostly worked at start-ups so I have no experience with the kinds of travel allowances, etc. most companies allow - so I thought I would ask. How about you tell us the type of company and its size (no company names needed) and the general outline of your travel policy for airfare, hotel, and meal allowances? If a bunch of folks post it might make for an interesting comparison.
How about it?
