What is your firm’s travel policy for booking First / Business class below Partner levels?

We fly coach for all internal travel, all travel to non-home weekend destinations, and flights under 3.5h (Texas - NYC). There is no meaningful differentiation in travel policy for regular partners/non-partners.

Sucks at Deloitte. Coach for flights < 8 hours regardless of staff level. PMDs can fly business all the time

Oh damn, still better than ours, but I thought we had the worst by a longer stretch

In practice, we book first class for every flight but technically our policy is over 90 min for first class / business but I’ve never seen anyone on any team fly coach

A1 I am DC based so no idea what your friends are talking about. I’d say the dc office treats it people pretty great and if you walk into our office thy travel policy is literally displayed on screens everywhere lol

D1 - you are good person! I was literally told to book the cheapest flight possible to Asia. It wasn’t cool. It literally changed the way I view D.

We can fly first class if the flight is >4 hours. That's "technically" firms policy but it usually depends on the EP

Nope. Firm policy is business for international flights if you’re a professional. Partner MD is over 4 hours

EY: Frequent Travelers (120 nights or 80k+ actual flight miles) can book business/first on flights over three hours total flight time (i.e., adding connecting flights, if applicable). PPEDs that aren't frequent travelers can book business when over 4 hours. (I forget the international rules.)

Absolutely absurd that Accenture makes folks fly coach on a 17 hour flight

Business for any flight >4 hours.

Flying coach to S America in a few weeks. 17 hour red eyes each way. 😕

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?
