Best Travel Infos

mike asked:


I accepted a job a year ago that involved very little travel (10-20 days a year). Since then my job description has changed and my duties require me to travel 120 day per year or more, with trips sometimes lasting up to 3 weeks working an average of 15 hours per day, 6 or 7 days per week. Does anyone know of any resources that may help calculate an average of how much more travel jobs generally pay more than in office jobs.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Thanks for the input. In my experience if a company is hiring for two positions, same job,(ex. Project Manager) where one position works out of the office and the other is required to travel extensively, the pay for those two position will differ due simply to the fact that it there is a smaller pool of potential employees willing to travel when they can find a similar position at similar pay, that does not require travel.

In my case, I have colleagues with the same job and qualifications who aren’t required to travel and have a similar salary. This was justified when I was an office employee but now that I’m a travel employee and am required to travel extensively, it seems fair that I would be compensated at a higher level.

I’m going to ask for a raise, i just need to figure out how much and put together a justification to present to my boss, i.e. you’d have to pay X$ to hire for my original position and X% more to hire for my current travel position.

thanks

I would like to travel to Madagascar in November until mid December (6 weeks). But I keep reading that it is rainy season during that time. Unfortunately that’s the only time when my boss let’s me go on holiday. Is it still good enough to travel thru Madagascar when it is rainy season or will it be too stressy and difficult to travel around?

I do most of my boss’s travel arrangements. He wants to travel business class/first class from LAX all the way to Oaxaca, Mexico. Unfortunately, I’ve already check it out and the only first class flights in existence ever are from LAX to Mexico city and back from Mexico City to LAX. Are there any first class/business class seats on any airlines between Mexico City and Oaxaca, Mexico DF? I’ve check with Aviacsa, Aeromexico and Mexicana! Nobody has first class between the two mexican cities. Can anyone help?
