Economy everywhere 😖 (in industry, don't travel much)

Have any managers and up at PwC had success with the business class policy? I read about the policy but haven't really seen anyone take advantage of it.

Bus or first class for domestic over 3hrs. Business class on international flights.

^wtf pwc. Been on bicoastal coach flights for half a year. And that's policy. Meanwhile those flying to Mexico City in 4 hours take business. What is life.

P2 - manager and directors on my west coast project do it. They charge the balance to the vertical code as instructed by the partner.

Balance - the difference between coach and business

PwC, you're likely aware that if you fly 75k per year, you are automatically included in a policy where any 3+ hour segment can be business class. Pricing for it is automatically calculated in Concur if you qualify ... Because we fly as often as we do, you rarely have to take advantage of it as most are upgraded on their own.

Good to know. P3 upgrades can be rough if you're going hub to hub. I was doing IAD to SFO for months and rarely saw an upgrade.

75k policy doesn't seem to be valid anymore. I did 100k+ miles this year and did not get it

Business on all trips over 3.5hrs (meaning, connecting itineraries can count). Can upgrade from coach though if y-up within $50 of coach, or pay difference difference over $50 if y-up is more.

EY1 3hours include layovers?

At K all international flights are allowed to be booked business. Partners can book business (not first) whenever they please I believe.

P3 - that only applies to managers and directors - which reminds me that that is the caveat
