Tip policy per airline
The airline I've been working at for the past 20 years had a policy of paying for tips to the drivers of vehicles that shuttled its crews between hotels and airports during layovers. These tips were paid by the crew and could be claimed as expense, at roughly one dollar per crewmember.
This is sometimes a hotel shuttle driver, sometimes a chartered bus that comes to ferry the whole crew between the hotel and airport, and sometimes its a ground transport between two cities, like Amsterdam to Brussels for example.
I often see crewmembers of other airlines individually tip the hotel shuttle bus drivers.
What is the tip policy and practice at other airlines ?
Do the crews tip, and if they do, is it out of their own pocket or do the airlines cover these tips ?
Thanks. And if you can't provide the name of your airline, please provide at least a geographical region.
