I asked someone this and he said roughly 10-15k per year. International trips on the long breaks and domestic trips on 3-day weekends.

Roughly 15k annually. Travel is all for pleasure. Midwestern M7.

HBS. More than expected. There are on average >2 trips you could go on every single weekend. I overdid it in yr 1 (was away 6-7 weekends in a row). I would recommend not doing more than every other weekend with no more than 2 international trips per semester

Did you get a sense of how that compares with other schools?

And at which school did you study? Was most of the travel domestic or international? How would you describe the nature of your travel experience in general?

Building my budget/cashflow model and this is the biggest unknown for me at the moment, so any data points would be super helpful!

Is there a general expectation that a Partner has an MBA?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.
