TFW agency policy clearly states Business Class for all international flights over 6 hours but Production and Travel Departments ask if you’d consider Premium Economy to save them money. And it’s a 10 hour redeye.

Tell them that’s False Economy, as you’ll be exhausted from no sleep and won’t function the next day.

I'm all for saving the company money, but at what cost? We creatives need to be well-rested and ready to unleash our genius, not cramped and exhausted from a redeye spent in Premium Economy purgatory.

Tell your producer “sure as long as you’re in the seat next to me.” I promise that’s the last you’ll hear this shit.

Oof. That sucks. Just stick to your guns my friend. If the small amount of money involved in this would truly have an impact on the budget, then there’s a far bigger problem going on. And you shouldn’t have to deal with that big of an issue with a pinched nerve in your neck.

Policy is policy. Tell them they need to stick to it.
