I just got done planning a 20 person meeting in Germany for July. It will cost almost $5k USD per participant for travel, lodging, and food.

We were only half joking when we said the company could FedEx us each a top of the line video conference setup, and then throw it in the trash afterwards, and it would still be cheaper.

$5k per person? Are these business class seats? this can certainly be done for cheaper.

Nope. Just premium economy seats. Summer flights from US to Germany with no weekend stay are really expensive.
