Foreign travel doesn't feature quite as much in the latest release of expenses from BBC senior managers. 

Controller Radio 3 Alan Davey visited Tokyo, to watch the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a series of concerts called the BBC Proms Japan. Flight £1747.72. Head of News Output Gavin Allen flew to Boston for £1120.22. BBC World Service group director Jamie Angus went to Rio for £2295.32.

No flight details for leader comedy man Shane Allen, but he did claim for 4 nights in the 4-star Shangri-La Hotel, Santa Monica for £922.16.  Chief (data) Architect Jayton Aythora headed to San Francisco for £1355.58, plus three nights in the 4-star Hotel Spero for a tasty £1140. 

Kieran Clifton, Director of Distribution, flew to Austin, Texas for £2455.22, and spent £1419.80 on six nights in a hotel.   Steerage for Controller Radio 1 Ben Cooper, knees tucked up all the way to LA for just £781.69. BBC2 boss Patrick Holland spent £1048.26 on four nights at the Beverly Hills Plaza. Alison Kirkham, Factual Commissioner, flew to Washington for £1829.52

DG Lord Hall flew to Tel Aviv for £1478.72, accompanied by Director of Nations and Regions Ken MacQuarrie, and spent 3 nights in the Hotel Rothschild at £816.09; slightly pricier was a stay in Davos - six nights in the Bergotal Schatzalp, at £2328.59.
