[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for DOJ and have been asked to fly across the globe (think Australia) for a big meeting.  My travel department isn't the greatest so I want to get information before I go to them.  Can I justify traveling business class working for the government?  The thought of sitting on the plane for that long is killing me.[/quote]

14 hours of flying qualifies for business class.[/quote]

Yes, this is true. It applies to all agencies as part of the CFR section 301.103. (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-41/subtitle-F/chapter-301/subchapter-B/part-301-10)

However it’s a “may” not a “must”. I used to have to travel &gt;14 hrs several times a year for my role, so I asked and my supervisor said “go ahead and request business class. I’m happy to decline it as many times as you want.”[/quote]

Lol, I love your supervisor.

Seriously tho, working for gov is supposed to be public service. The overwhelming majority of people we serve do not fly business. So there’s no reason we should do it on THEIR dime. [/quote]

Under that thinking no one should earn over minimum wage either..[/quote]
