If the company covered air fare for your wife then it was very
unusual.

For a period in the late '70's I did quite a bit of company travel,
all within the US and rarely more than 3 days. I really don't know
what the company's policy was in that respect. She only accompanied me
on one trip. The company paid the hotel room in full and I didn't
include any expenses attributable to her (meals, tickets, etc.) on my
expense account. I don't know whether they would have paid them or not
but my personal ethical code wouldn't let me claim them. May have
missed out on a dollar or two, but I don't have any problems with the
guy in the mirror.
