If you’ve been on a project with a major airline (Delta, United, American), did you get free personal travel perks?

Nope and you have to use their travel services so no points either...

Plus if you don’t live in a hub for that airline they will still make you use them and put you on crappy flights.

We almost never allow clients to force us to use non-rev. We have one client where they’ve been bringing it up for 10 years, and we always negotiate out of it. I know other firms weren’t so successful though.

And to be clear, I’m a member of the aviation team :)

Yep, free Uber rides from the office back home.

I heard they give you cash in return for your services

Alternatively, I’ve worked with resort and casino clients where you don’t get meal expense budgets but you can eat anything you want at the resort for free (these are luxury resorts). That’s better than when I’ve worked for airlines. They don’t technically let you gamble though.

Consulting at FB is that way too.

But your PPMDs get huge bonuses for selling those projects so it all balances out.

.. right?

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time.
