It’s “business travel” so your company pays for it. The reason you go is for work, not fun. In my case my company pays for premium economy (startup) and I have enough miles and status most times to upgrade. For me that is minimum of 240 hours on a plane a year. Last year I think I spent 500+ hours. It’s work, not some rich person vacation.
