Well, back in Seattle now. This has been my heaviest travel year ever I think. 3 Europe trips, 1 India trip, 5 domestic. And I think that’s barely kiddie-league for the true up-in-the-air frequent flier types. How the hell do they get anything done?

Militant reliance on the status related perks of airlines, rental companies and hotels.
I used to travel 50 weeks a year and w/o being treated super well by those three service providers, it wouldn’t have worked
Also a reliance on the predictably of FedEx and Starbucks helped.

I don’t think I could handle it even then. I’m more of a slow nomad, moving cities/apartments frequently.

It is objectively horrible even with the perks. But I still travel a lot and I can tell you the perks alloted to the 100 night per year hotel guests are VERY good
The real pain cave is traveling 50% of the time, & not getting the great perks but still being on the road too much.
