Your Companies Travel Policy??

Most companies have a policy in regards to not putting too many staff members on the same flight. I was learning about our policy with our recent trip to Boston. At the company I work for, combined salary of all on board can not exceed $600,000. As you can imagine it makes it tough booking flights. When my dad worked for ICL they had a very similar policy (salary limit), but on one sales trip the chartered a plane for the entire sales team - in order to get the OK for this they pulled out some enormous insurance package as if that plane crashed ICL would no longer have a sales force.

This is probably very standard with most companies, and protecting their business. Does you company have a policy? Does anyone know how professional teams organize this?

Revenue pax first, then every man for himself.

Nope. No policy at all like that.

We cover the airline industry. If we start doing things like saying only a certain number of people can fly together, we're kind of undermining the industry we cover, and all of the sudden, instead of answering our requests for interviews, some people might clam up..
 
The travel policy at my company is to purchase tickets at the last minute, this is done to guarantee the employee will receive the undivided attention of the TSA. After gathering up your posessions, and putting yourself back together you get to go sit for a couple or five hours in a middle seat near the back of the airplane, or in the back, by the toilet between the engines on one of Delta's Mad Dogs. Doug, have you ever noticed that the last ten or so people off the airplane stumble out the door cross eyed with toilet paper shoved up their noses and blood coming out their ears?!
Anyhow, that's our travel policy, occasionally we are treated to it three or four times a week, but usually only twice a week while on duty.

No. Sounds like something contagious. Don't touch!!!
 
My employer's travel policy:

Highest ranking 6 people to call it get to go on the Lear Jet, everyone else book your own flight.
