Surprisingly and opposite to what I thought I was going to read, a very large UK retail bank has a policy of J travel for flights above 6 hours. Said firm also permits 1st class rail travel for journeys longer than 3 hours.

Neither policy I thought was particuarly generous given the productivity benefits of more premium classes of travel and the wellbeing benefits for staff. I assumed for any large corporate (or small) that would be par for the course. Examples in this thread illustrate otherwise!

They also have a hotel rate cap which doesn't go far these days, but at least we have an element of choice as to where to select and can go above the cap if a suitable reason is selected.... I wouldn't take a role that had a more regressive travel policy than this.
