This page captures the CEO's travel preferences to guide the E.A. when booking flights, trains, and hotels. General employee travel policies — including what FlowFuse covers for flights and accommodation — are documented in the Travel handbook.
Flights
Flying and being away from home should be optimized in following order:
- Ability to get results on site
- Limit disruptions to family routines
- Reduce Jetlags for long-haul flights Prefer overnight flights on eastbound journeys and daytime flights westbound.
Seating
- Aisle seat has the strong prefference. Window seat is ok, never a middle seat.
- As close to the front of the cabin as possible.
Airline preferences
- Preferred: KLM (top tier).
- Avoid: United Airlines — it's the US equivalent of Ryanair.
- EU travel: No Ryanair.
Upgrades
The company at this time doesn't pay for any upgrades, this means that for some journeys the CEO will order flights with upgrades and pay the difference back to the company. See the Expenses handbook for how reimbursement works.
- For flights over 3 hours, ensure extra leg-room is order.
- For flights over 6 hours, discuss how expensive the upgrades to Premium economy or Business class are.
Loyalty Programs
When booking, please ensure the credit to the right program is set up. Details are in 1Password.
| Alliance | Airlines | Program |
|---|---|---|
| SkyTeam | KLM, Delta, etc. | Flying Blue (KLM) |
| Star Alliance | United, Turkish, etc. | Miles & More (United) |
Trains
For countries where the trains are well organized, like most of the EU and parts of Asia, prefer the train to flying. Trains generally have better door-to-door travel times, better internet, and less stress.
When booking a train, reserve a seat where possible (Deutsche Bahn!) — saves time finding one on board and ensure this time can be used to work.
Hotels
Location of the hotel relative to work engagements trump the follow list to optimize for. However, when there's options, please consider the preferences.
In order, optimize for:
- A quiet room. Request an interior-facing or courtyard room away from street noise.
- A park or safe running route in the area is a plus.
- Hotels that provide shaving products are preferred; traveling with shaving gear is inconvenient.
