no it is actually x 1 but will apply in both directions at 96K per direction. 72K for MEL-LAX and 24K for LAX-JFK. I pray I can get both ways but would be great to just get one of them. I feel confident of getting the LAX-JFK legs as I am sure they might be leaner on capacity but will wait and see.

When I did travel for work, 7 trips to SE Asia and 4 domestic trips in 2 years, my guess would be a total spend on airfares and accommodation of around $25,000.
My personal spend on airfares the last few years is ~$8,000 a year although that is now likely to increase by another ~$8,000 commuting SYD-BNE, based on estimate of 40 trips/year, for work.
Nice Simon! But I reckon somebody can surely crack the $1m mark... :P
Over the last 6 0r seven years I've probably racked up well over a million. F07-08 was $286k, by virtue of over 200 nights in hotels and 148 flights, most if J some in F. We had some very large product launches leading to some monster trips in F, all over the globe.
This year not so bad, I've run at about $15k per month, as a result of being based in the US and not visiting Oz quite so much.
This month is a bit of rare one in that I was on holiday for ten days, and not travelling much for the remainder, until the week end when I'm off to the UK and the continent, but will still run to $10k for the month.
I'm now retired so I don't have access to my (Corporate) Amex statements, but I was averaging $7k - $8k a month, so $80K - $90k a year sounds about right. Over 7 years - probably in excess of "half a big one". All national - no international at all.
But pales into insignificance next to winetraveller.

You know, this surprises me, i thought that you would have blown this out the water, between you and NYC guy, by virtue of his signature anyway.
As for me, well considering its funded out of my pocket (although for work) it comes to approximately $6406.94. The joys of MYOB! This is from 11/09/2005 till today.
Thanks for this thrread Harpoon, it will be fascinating to see the responses from some.

By the way, nobody should feel pressured to respond :P Money can be a very private thing. But I thought since I'm interested in 'work trips' more so than personal holidays, most people wont have too much of an issue talking about it.

Re: Your career travel costs
Our expense system is linked with our AMEX cards, so every charge we put on the card appears automatically on our expense system a few days later (then we can allocate it to personal/work-related and claim reimbursement).
Works really well, and it keeps a log of every charge that's gone through the card.
Mine's sitting on around $143,000 at the moment - the majority of which is work travel. That's in about 2.5 years.
