At what price point can you no longer justify flying the same airline? For example, if you’re top status on Delta but American has the same flight for $200 less that week, do you fly American?

As delta diamond, there has to be an ironclad, not for debate, immovable reason for me not to fly delta. I’ve flown southwest once or twice in place of Delta due to substantial price differences and trying to do right by the client... and they were miserable experiences. I mentally justify it by saying I will be more rested/productive with my first class upgrade, and the client benefits from better brain usage outta me that way

Both - staffed 3 years straight with no remote time (outside of ~1 week at holidays) and layovers both ways (about 10 hrs door to door)... hence my very strong feelings about flying comfortably, ha

Look, it’s just a guiding principle. I would pay $200 more to fly Delta, so that is OK to do. At $400 difference I would suck it up and fly another airline.

If you think the client sponsor would not agree with your judgment, then don’t spend it. My guidance is to consider it from their perspective.

My ex-firm's system (Amex) used to make us acknowledge that we are taking a more expensive flight despite there being cheaper options..but the cheaper ones never worked out so...... 😉 But the price couldn't be higher by like 300+... That would raise eyebrows even if Amex allowed it

Do y’alls booking platforms let you do that? If AA is cheaper than Delta out of the same airports at similar times ours comes out of policy. Do y’all book out of policy?
