I know they pay for the commute and hotel etc but why would they be willing to commute you from say Honolulu to JFK obviously within the US but a large distance but not say Brisbane on the east coast of Australia to LAX, not really that much extra flight time.
I loved living in the US but just wondering why you can’t do international gateway especially as they fly to HK, Sydney, Singapore and probably even Brisbane etc.?
It is the way Gateway Travel is covered contractually and since we have bases and not home basing. The best way to work it is pick a gateway city far from the base that will consistently have high ticket prices and then if that ticket is cheaper then day Brisbane to base, they will be happy to book it….
