One of the questions is this:

> How is work travel handled? Will it be an issue if I want a somewhat more expensive seat for legroom?

I'm 6'7" (200cm), so flying in a regular economy seat is horrible for me. I want to make sure the employer won't balk at me paying extra for an exit row or premium economy seat.

I see. Fair question. I might adopt this if I'm ever applying for jobs that require frequent travel.

For me, even visiting an office once or twice a year by plane is enough to make this important. I also have knee issues. I really can't tolerate being jammed into a regular economy seat for any length of time.

I would also note that premium economy is usually 30-60% more than an economy seat. Typically this amounts to maybe $150-300 per trip, so I'm not asking for a huge amount of money here!
