Work Travel. Too damned much.

Post by BobbyK »

This is what my next two months look like:

EZE-ATL-MCO
MCO-ATL-SDF
SDF-ATL-MCO
MCO-ATL
ATL-MCO
TPA-ATL-LGA
EWR-ATL-TPA
TPA-ATL
ATL-MSP-FAR
FAR-MSP-TPA
TPA-ATL-RDU
RDU-ATL-TPA
MCO-JFK-LHR
LHR-ATL-MCO
TPA-DTW-MKE
MKE-DTW-TPA
TPA-ATL-DTW-YOW
YOW-DTW-ATL-TPA

So. Far. The Salesweasels have a couple of holes that they could fill.

*sigh* At least I'm not stuck in economy.

Unless you've got business in the city, they're is no reason to fly into or out of JFK. You're much better off hitting Newark. Laguardia is to be avoided like leprosy.

You could cut out that travel time by half by avoiding MCO. 8-) (Ducks and runs!). :mrgreen:

Bobby, how many of those are conferences and how many are clients?

With the exception of one team training, and two conferences I'm attending, every single one is an event or conference I'm speaking at

We're not surprised.

Get an RV and have the company pay for it and just give you more time to get there - and take your spouse on travel with you. No jet lag. :D

Feeling your pain. Traveling at the moment and this may be the 2nd worst hotel I've ever had the displeasure of being a guest for 12 hours in. I'm checking out 4 days early and trying another up the road about 20 minutes. Hoping that one works out.

LGA, I've got an event at BNYMellon in the city. Notice that I'm leaving via EWR.

JFK, I'm connecting on the way to London.

I can't drive more than a couple of hours at a stretch, and there's no way to make the event tempo work while driving.
