There’s no way he enjoys travelling that much, right?
I used to travel that much in a year, no its not enjoyable. Now if its possible I drive/train to where I want to visit.
You learn to hate travel, eating out every morning/day/night, ect. I used to make them set me up in classy extended stays so I could cook for myself.
Oh and the fun when the travel agent gets you a compact and I have 6 military grade travel cases to load out at 0100 in BFE. Good luck getting someone on the phone to fix that…
/GAAAAAAHHHHH! I don’t miss that life!
Were you doing that travel on a private jet? Because I feel like the scenario skews when you don’t have to have to deal with airport admin and sharing elbow space
Sometimes, also private prop jobs to take me out to BFE where you slept in a bunk house/barracks full of strangers. Mostly normal commercial, rarely military (so loud, they are not built for comfort).
Airport staff or other passengers was never an issue. The biggest issue is this is for work. You have no choice, you have to be there. Yeah maybe getting waited on hand and foot makes it better but I bet you get sick of that too.
Like I said I wanted extended stay rooms to cook. I have a nearly unlimited food budget. Steak and lobsters every night… You burn out of that, at the end of my road work I would get a good loaf of wheat bread and eat PBJ’s.
We did switch to per diem and fucking hell did I make money on that!
Private planes are rented out to other people when the owner isn’t using it.
