- This would be fun and why not, especially if it’s cheaper than renting.
This is part two, so if you missed part one, here it is: Commuting By Plane Cheaper Than Renting: Part One.
She said: “A lot of people are interested in how much money I’m saving. I book my flights about three to four weeks out so they’re pretty cheap.”
“My flights are around $100 there and back and then I pay about $100 for Ubers between the office and airport. If I lived in the New York City or New Jersey area, I’d be spending thousands of dollars a month on rent alone.” Wow, way cheaper than renting.
She understands it may not ‘work for everyone,’ but also said, “I feel like I’ve gotten used to the whole hustle of traveling every week and it really doesn’t bother me.”
“If anything, I really look forward to it. I love being at the airport. I love the adventure of it. I think it’s really nice to be able to wake up in one city and then start my workday in another.” And why not if it’s cheaper than renting.
With all that said, however, Sophia says her commute still has its challenges, adding: “I obviously get worried about delays.” This lifestyle may be a bit more stressful but it’s certainly cheaper than renting. 
“I will say that one of the major reasons I decided to do this was because it was a temporary thing,” the woman went on. And to help as it’s cheaper than renting for her.
“My internship is only 10 weeks. I don’t know if I would necessarily do this for a full-time position. I don’t anticipate super-commuting after this summer.”
For now, she’s happy with her choice and says her story ‘says a lot about how people are prioritizing work-life balance more in the wake of the pandemic’.
She said: “The hybrid world really allows you to have so much more flexibility.
“It’s not necessary to live 20 minutes down the road from your office anymore. You can still have a really successful career — even if you’re living far away from where you work.”
Would you consider commuting by plane, especially if it was cheaper than renting?
