It's difficult to change that as you said they negotiated hard for it. Mr.'s corporate travel policy is very strict and straightforward - you need to stay at the cheapest closest hotel you need to be, anything else will be violating corporate policy. He is working in a Scandinavian NMC, don't know if it's any fortune company. Their corporate travel agency was told to book HBO fare for all the employees and one of his went to the US and found out at the airport that he had to pay for check bags. He paid for it with his corporate card but it's not saving the company any $. I asked Mr. if he can tell Corp travel about it and he said even he did nothing is going to change.
