That's awesome. Def one of the perks of being at big 3 is the travel policy. Spent 35k on all coach tickets last year on delta - they'd put us in the luggage area if it was possible.

Flew United almost every week last year, on paid first class tickets. I hear the requirements are largely spend-based, with a ~$50k magical cutoff.

I know. It blew my mind during a 15 hour coach flight to Tokyo for a one day meeting as well. Hopefully now that strategy practice is a business unit of its own policy changes.

Total? About three fifty qualifying across airlines. Mostly back and forth across the US, sometimes a few trips a week (e.g., west coast redeye to east coast Sunday night, spend a day or two, then Midwest for a few days, then home). Two international trips to ASPAC.

What did that take in terms of flights and whatnot...? Wow.

Welcome to the club! You'll see, it was all worth it!! Not ;)

There are policies... but assuming the destination is at least a couple hours away, yes

Bain flies coach!

^ huh, that's news to me

My friends at Bain definitely don't fly coach.

Bain flies coach domestically. Your Bain friends are either outside the US flying internationally or lying to you

Made Global Services and Delta Diamond both in 2015. Did not use a challenge. Few random other airlines in there too (AA, SW).

That blows my mind... even our most unprofitable clients fly business class

I was at a client who made us use their travel services instead of CWT and international flights were business.
