Company paying for expensive flights - is there any precedent for re-allocating that money?
I'm being relocated to a different country in a few weeks. As part of the package, the company pays for 4 roundtrip flights (travel time is around ~20 hours) in business class (so I can travel back and forth from home country). This amounts to about $30,000 USD.
I'm more than content flying economy and was wondering if there was any precedent for asking that money to be reallocated (the first thing that comes to mind is paying off my student loans :) )
Figure the answer is no for a variety of reasons, but wanted to pose the question.

Pretty sure its a nope. It wasn't like they gave you 30,000 to fly there and back a couple of times. They wanted you to fly, so they spent that money for you. If you wanted economy, they would just pay less and you wouldn't see an extra cent.
