I'd put a negative value on it. Traveling for work means that you work more, are away from family and friends, commonly end up spending more of your own money while traveling and have to put up with the hassle of travel. The costs of losing time and health far outweigh any travel benefit. Most of the travel benefits are only really valuable for people on here because they travel so much.

If I traveled only once per year, going to the airport an hour later because I have no status would be no big deal.
