✈️ Getting There
What will Buffer cover?
Buffer will cover the cost of a roundtrip flight for any company meet-up that we request you attend, i.e. on-sites and retreats. This is the general guideline for the kind of flight that we'll cover:
- Coach/Economy/Main Cabin ticket
- As many or as few stops as you are comfortable with
- Checked baggage (if not included in ticket price)
- Ticket/cancellation insurance
- [Contractors] Travel insurance (up to $100 per teammate) if not otherwise covered by a health plan as part of our US, Canada, and UK health coverage. Note that some credit cards offer complimentary travel insurance (including medical) if you use it to purchase a flight, so please check if you're covered before buying any additional insurance. 🙂
If you prefer to upgrade to a premium ticket at your own expense (Premium Economy, Business, First Class), please feel free to do so and expense the amount of a basic economy ticket for that same flight. You can check and compare these prices on Google Flights.
- If I am exploring alternative travel options (e.g. train, ferry, instead of taking a flight), how much can I expense for my trip?
Family Support + Buffer Travel
We realize work-related travel is important, but can also be a logistical and financial burden for teammates and their families. Our Family Support Fund is designed to help support these associated costs.
Buffer also covers the following for retreats and onsites:
