Interesting. Back when I was in Professional Services, that phrase in our contracts (and I worked at some of the big boys) explicitly meant economy and mid-tier.
I get speakers are a slightly different kettle of fish but tax dollars going to pay for upgraded class of travel seems...off to me.
The contract cites "reasonable and necessary" travel expense reimbursements. So most likely, I would expect business class and a nice hotel, yes.
