I'm in the middle of my first business trip in like 3.5 years.
For me, expensing a flight is a one-off.
I made a very reasonable booking and expensed it. I then paid, out of pocket, to change it to something better for me, but not in policy. I don't see how they could possibly challenge me. I bought an in-policy flight, and then I paid out of pocket to make it more comfortable. I didn't change dates, times, or flights. I literally paid the fare difference to move up a cabin.
Would your employer not let you pay for an upgrade?
