It's all negotiable. Set expectations and you're fine. If you have meetings that can't be postponed, then of course you get on that plane.

I would have taken it, get out, rent a Hertz and travel on road

But somehow unlikely that dtw to ord can go 3000

The person that took the seat was elderly. They offered it after the plane boarded, so they were desperate.

Wow. I would have taken it unless there was a family reason not to

Are we allowed to volunteer off ourselves or is that a no no if we’re flying to client

My investing strategy is just to DCA into an S&P 500 index fund and keep buying and holding.
