A few more questions.
This depends on the time away from home of course, but when you travel, do you check luggage or do you try to use only a carry-on?
Is there an advantage to buying a membership to one of the airline clubs, such as the RCC?
I did the out Sun back Thurs nite thing for about a yr - I could do 5 days with carryon , anything after that either required checked or hotel laundry.
You will find lots of discussions about the Red Carpet Club pros and minuses in the United Forum, same for the Admirals club in the AA Forum
Totally OT
If all you do is fly in, go to hotel, go to client site, fly out. It gets old really, really fast. I was married with teenagers when I did this the first time so all I wanted to do was get home. The second time I did it - they were 3 day trips and I was single
- I learned to try and find at least one interesting thing to do in each city - no matter how tired I might be. I got to see some very interesting things and it made the travel a lot more tolerable.
