While the current environment prevails, I suspect most people would simply grin and bear it - however the original employment agreement most likely is for normal business hours five days a week. A number of people have expressed the opinion that they do not fly for the company on their own time (without a reasonable quid pro quo).
There is not a good answer to the question. Except to find another company, start one yourself, or work to get an acceptable travel policy.

i would suggest he speak to his employer and say although i'm entitled to J, i got $$ for sitting in Y, and so I would like to return 1/2 of it to the company. Agreed the traveller is not the owner or paid for the ticket, but he was entitled by the company to sit in J. So the employer already paid the ticket and so this way the employer got back something already is rewarding and also shows that the employee is loyal to the company.
