Do you have multiple homes?
For those who travel between certain cities quite a bit, do you have multiple places (not actual hotels or long-term stay places, nor a vacation house you might spend two or three weeks at a year, but an actual place)? How much do you spend in each city/town?

Yes I do. I travel between YVR, HKG & LAX quite frequently. HKG my parents kept the flat when they moved to YVR. So ever since I was young we have been flying back and forth YVR - HKG each year. Parents would spend winter months in HKG, while summer back in YVR.
when the US housing market crashed I manage to find a decent price apt in LA and was renting it out for a year until I started to go down to LA more frequently.
are you asking about mortgage/rent paid per city? or just overall spending in each city?

Yes.
HNL - 20 percent of my time
ORD - 10 percent of my time
MCO - 30 percent of my time
SEA - 10 percent of my time
The rest is spent in hotels.

A grossly-overpaid and underworked friend of mine has seven homes on three continents. Two or three are always in some state of rebuilding/renovation which gives him something to complain about. Mo money mo problems you know. Awhile back I read a list of the most overcompensated professions: his is #1. I'll let you guess

Yes. I own a house in Preston, Lancashire UK (airport used mainly = MAN but also LPL) which 2 of my kids live in. I also rent an apartment in Indianapolis, IN (airport IND) with my wife. I travel very light between the two as I have two wardrobes. The wife on the hand uses her full Delta GM luggage allowance and my PM allowance too!!
