In addition to our speaking, training, or consulting fee, reasonable travel expenses are charged to the client, at our cost, and generally include air fare, hotel, meals, and ground transportation. We’re happy to provide you with an estimate of those charges for your event – OR – to lock in a flat travel allowance based on our best estimate of what our travel expenses will be. We know that when it comes to travel expenses, you don’t like surprises. And neither do we.
We’re pretty low-maintenance. When we’re flying within North America, all we ask is for an upgradable coach ticket. If we feel like upgrading to first class, we’ll do that with our frequent flyer status, our own money, or our good looks. So we’d better keep that frequent flyer status up-to-date!
For engagements outside North America, our fee will take into account the extra time involved. And we’ll ask to fly in business class. We’re both too cranky to fly across the ocean in coach if we can help it.
