Poll: Does your company pay for you to fly first class?

For my first job out of college, I was never required to travel. Plenty of people I knew did, though, and at that time (over ten years ago) that company paid for business class for all international travel. Those were the days! I left that company several years ago, but found out that after I…

A couple of weeks ago, Hyatt launched what they’re calling “The World’s Largest Focus Group”. It was basically a series of Twitter chats with the goal of finding out what business travelers really think.
