I have a stupid 9-5 job, so my MRs are limited to weekends. I generally only have the capacity to do one t-con at a time although last year during their CA promo period I did SFO-JFK (redeye) -SFO-SEA-SFO. Only 24 hrs but I so tired by the end of it.
I'm not; half+ of those are work related. I did 30+ leisure weekend trips in 2020, and it was fkn draining--and that's with sleeping in actual hotels. Imo, ppl doing weekend redeye runs back to back have to bit somewhat sociopathic LOL. 1 of those was good enough for me.
If I do weekend runs now, I'm staying in a hotel OR the red eye flight has to be longer than 6 hours + next weekend = rest.
I aspire to be the 100Ks off vacationing; I think that's the real flex, like no one paid for their miles and on top of that they don't have to care for these annual rat races.
