Yes, you can.

Don't mark the flight as flex, just do the outside/inside trick. I always expense cabs to and from the airport.

Yes

A2 - I've always charged it. Doesn't make a difference. The real question is why your Mgr needed to know when you were flexing in the first place..

Book your Monday morning flight as usual but book your return flight for the Thursday the following week. Then book your "flex" trip the weekend in between to your desired location from the client site and back.

Technically, no. Our flex policy is ridiculously strict. Its either air fare, hotel, or car/mileage/ground transport. Can't combine them. I know cuz I had a manager who was a complete ass hole about this b

In practice, Yes as long as the overall flex expenditure doesn't raise any flags.

Outside/inside?

He was super anal and tracked everyone's expenses week by week.

@A2 if he wouldn't let you mix them, he doesn't know policy. You can expense in all the flex expenses up to the cost of your normal trip home.

Hahah somebody flagged my post...y'all sensitive as hell!!
