The only difference that's going on with her job is that instead of two weeks away, one week home, it's now gotten to three weeks away, one week home. That might be due to where she's working at currently, South Africa. It certainly wasn't that way when she was working in Switzerland. Although it certainly is a longer flight. And she's still flying business class. Being the stay at home dad, I can only comment about my wife’s travels.

However, this is only at the level of number of trips, distance and number of people, not at all in type of accommodation. We've always traveled in cattle class, even trans-continental, but there are no restrictions on ticket prices as long as we use the mandatory supplier, and no changes to the quite comfortable "up to 4 stars" hotel policy.
