    I know this has been discussed here before, but I’m curious to know what you would do or expect in these two situations.  Please assume a cross country long weekend where you will incur expenses for hotel, a few meals, transportation and gift when:  

    You are the invited guest, encouraged to bring your SO

    You are the Girlfriend (or BF), invited to attend along with your SO.  

    I made the poll about flights only, but feel free to discuss further in the comments.   Would you cover all expenses or do you feel it is fair for the +1 to share some of the expenses related to  transportation, lodging, meals, gift  etc.?  As the +1,  would you expect to be treated to all or part of the weekend?

    Assume equal financial position, and  a long term relationship, not engaged or living together.  No shared finances.

    As the +1 I would expect to pay for my own flight unless the guest bringing me offered to pay for it.  If as the guest you really want your +1 to attend but they cannot afford the flight or choose not to pay for the flight, then you should pay for the flight so they can attend.
