Silly me, I didn't even think of that. I'm working primarily off of two recent data points. We sent a guy to LAX about a month ago on CA in C; cost was $1500 (one way). ....and another guy to ORD last week on UA; a whopping $4200 (and that was D class).
But, in hindsight, I agree that some corporate deals are very attractive.
