Is this serious? Because that's the whole point of this blog post: flying everyday between London and Barcelona it's actually doable, for real. As in: some people might end up doing it.
- wattson12 13y agohow many people would look at this commute (at least 3-4 hours each way) and think its doable?
- postitnotecode 13y agoI don't find 2-3 hour commutes all that unusual, though just an anecdote, in PA I knew families which would commute via car to NYC 3 hours in traffic. On the commute if there's room to work, 3-4 hours could represent a decent chunk of thinking/coding/email time.
- Ogre 13y agoI work in Orange County, not far from the airport (and even closer a few years ago) I did the napkin math on commuting from Arizona every day at one point, and it definitely worked out. I would've saved money doing that. Of course that presumes that my sanity has no value, but I'm not certain how much worse it would have been than some people's driving commutes.
- WildUtah 13y agoBCN-London can be had for E$34 round trip. LA-MEX goes for US$400 cheapest average seat. That makes all the difference. Maybe try Tijuana, though.
- jorgeortiz85 13y agoNah, the Mexican government imposes a $100 tax on all international flights.
