Wife didn't think to ask during the interview (and it may have been awkward to ask), but the first question I had was whether this travel would be in J. 4x/year to Asia in Y would be a non-starter to me.
Obviously nobody on here can say for sure, but this forum has a lot of collective knowledge about corporate travel. So, I thought I'd ask. For an employee at that pay level at a F500 company, is there any reasonable chance they'd make her fly Y and not pay for J?
It all depends on the company.
I don’t think there should be a problem asking about their travel policies. Some folk are fine flying Y. Some people are not. Unless you are accompanying her on all the flights, why not let her decide? I’ve flown a million+ miles in coach. Much of it longhaul to Asia. Still alive.
