My guideline to my teams has been if it costs x to fly from your home city to the client location, and it costs no more than x to go somewhere else, have a lovely weekend somewhere else. My teams bust a nut for our clients and I'd rather have a happy staff instead of them feeling like they have to come to me to arbitrate a flight cost decision. I trust my team.

It is a perk but be careful, some companies are starting to not match the increase in taxable income as it's considered a fringe benefit. Basically you would have to pay tax on the flight cost. So if the flight cost $1000 you would need to pay maybe $250-300.

Depends on the project and your leadership. Mine on this project are nerds that never broke a rule in their life.

It's most definitely not within firm policy. It's an IRS thing. Flying anywhere other than home is considered a taxable expense. Read the policy P4, it's super easy to find. Type travel in lieu into kcurve

Every time, can get basic stuff approved by director who inform the partner/principle of the request and approval.

Never

Do you book it as travel in lieu expense of regular flight?

I travel in lieu more than 75% of the time. Never ask for permission. Never expense as travel in lieu

Is in lieu travel what we call alt travel? If so, why would it ever be rejected it? I though it's a consulting perk.

Don't most people not do it "the right way" I thought firms don't care how you book it in expenses.

Whereas my current project couldn't care less

After a hard reset on travel points (got none after Covid and change to industry) how would you start over? Which credit card is best for travel points? Airline? Starwood or Bonvoy? Avis or ??

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?
