If I recall things right, I think he's going on a yearlong stay in hotels, so I'm sure his expenses are going up a bit.

In the end, it's an attention grabbing method of PR. If successful, he'll certainly give Ethiad lots of free PR, and of course he'll get a lot of fans/detractors too.
I recall he did some analysis and supposedly showed it would be cheaper to do the hotel stay thing, vice his current apartment situation, factoring in the amount of days he is at "home" each month. No idea if he's correct or not but he is expecting his costs to go down, apparently.
