Agreed. I have, what one would deem a fairly senior position in my company and do an average amount of travel. However, those above do a heck of a lot more, and TBH I'm not sure I'd want to.
The other end of the scale, IT engineers and "field" based positions also warrant a lot of travel. But, in these cases it's normally always Y (well it was in my day !). One seems to only get the luxuries of J, when you (a) either reach a senior position or (b) work in the lucrative finance industry where there is pots of cash
