It wasn't clear (to me anyway

But for me at my company? I've had to have a darn good reason for the bean counters if I booked a flight that was $2k more (also more than double) the cheapest fare.
Of course, at my company I wouldn't be flying a TPAC in Y. As per another comment in another recent thread, my schedule would become full.
