I mean it's not like attending conferences and hackathon if critical to the job of a Wikimedia engineer. I'd get it if you were being flown out for some mission critical job that couldn't be accomplished remotely or by someone local, but imo if you're being flown out by a non profit for something like the things I mentioned upgrading to a more comfortable class should be paid for by you, not the organisation.
