That's pretty awesome! Way to keep you routine even while traveling for work.
I just had the opposite experience, for some reason my company cannot book travel that is more than 7 days away, so we pay a premium on flights and hotels. I'm traveling this week and when booking I was told to re-book my hotel to a cheaper one, same distance from office location, by about $20. I did and when I asked my team to do the same it was sold-out. So the $20 saved will be offset by the two different Uber/Taxi that we now have to take because my hotel is in the opposite direction as where my team is staying.
