Thanks for all the responses. Seems like F500 travel policies vary drastically -- some paying for domestic transcon J/F for even low/mid level employees, others not paying for long-haul J even for fairly senior management. I'm a bit surprised there's such a range of policies. I guess she needs to find out the official policy, otherwise be in for a surprise.

To be fair, nobody asked you who you'd feel comfortable hiring.
And nobody said my wife is insisting on anything -- or that she in any way thought as a non-exec level hire she'd be able to negotiate special travel arrangements from a F500 company. Obviously there's a company policy that dictates travel to Asia. No need to tear into people (and make it personal) for asking legit factual questions!
