It all depends on who your employer is, how profitable they are, their travel policy, and how far the trip is. I flew from Boston to Johannesburg, my employer was extremely profitable, and I qualified under their policy because flying each way took about 18 hours. It was wonderful. And I had a lot more than a free orange juice; e.g., there was free food and booze in the exclusive waiting lounges at Logan and Heathrow. >You get there just the same, but pay 60% more and get a free orange juice. You also have a LOT more leg room, elbow room, comfort in general, and storage space for carry-on items.
