I can book domestic F (or discounted F) if that's all that's available. Sometimes you can work it, by changing times, to where that's all there is.

I am 2 grades below the level where I qualify for BF on international. However, if I fly 4 international RT's a year, the rest can be in BF. I am also allowed BF if a segemnt is >9 hours. Once a year, it's no big deal for me to fly 8-9 hours in coach.

There are 5 preferred airlines: Delta, Continental, Uinted, British Airways & Lufthansa. If a ticket is $200 less on a non-preferred carrier, you may buy it.

We have a fleet of company jets that are especially helpful when visiting small towns without a commercial air carrier. We like to put plants in remote places. The fleet is based by HQ, so I never use them.
