I agree. If the policy were coach-only, you'd be hard pressed as a lone new employee to do anything about it. But your policy is business class, and they are not adhering to that.
You say it's a big-4 firm or similar. I'd expect most overseas travel there to be billable back to a client. Is that the case for you? In some cases, your firm may be contractually obligated to adhere to a client policy, even if tighter than your own.
