The question is, are you using your time effectively as you sit cramped in economy, hating your travel choice to be on the lowest cost airline ticket? In reality one or 2 hours … or 7 or eight hours on a business class ticket pays dividends as a stress free workplace.
You spend $$ more but how much is your professional time worth? If you make $100 an hour and the 5 hour flight productivity time is lost to the business … where is the value? Your company is not paying you to break-even, they count on you being a profitable contributor to their bottom line. Generally at 1.5 to 3 times your salary. So at 3 times they are loosing $1500 worth of potential profit for a 5 hour flight if you are sitting unable to work or think clearly about the task you are traveling to accomplish. $400 more to get you into a productive business class work seat, to arrive refreshed and ready to hit the ground running is very good economics and resource utilisation. The business class section is full of employees and companies that know the value of time and are not fooled by the ‘cheap price airline tickets’ to increase profits. They know value is in the productive minutes worked, not by the cutting of costs that lead to better outcomes.
Future.Travel helps companies convert travel time into productive time through discounted business class tickets and special group price ticketing for small businesses and corporate travel customers.
