Reimbursement for travel costs

I understand I have to take the cheapest means possible. But does this also include the time it takes to get to my destination?
50 hours for connect flights while in the basic economy class
Or
20 hours for fast travel, but the same basic economy class.
The flights having a massive difference in price.
Assume everything else the same like the carry on and such in the ticket
Im dealing with a 700 ticket for 30 hours vs a 1200 ticket for 18 hours choice here.

Hi Haramguez,

The class and method of travel should be deemed reasonable (ie no business class,) standard economy is expected, if no hold luggage is included in the flight price we will cover the cost of 1 hold bag (general guide is up to 23KG). However if enhanced economy class flights have been purchased e.g. Economy Flex or Economy Flex Plus, we would require evidence to show that this was the only or least expensive option available at the time of booking as these fares offer additional benefits.

Thanks, Clare
