Which coast are you based out of? How do you do it in terms of PTO and time management/travel efficiency?
From East Coast, fly out Thursday night and leave on Monday morning. It can be a really beautiful long weekend in Paris, Rome, or Vienna.
is a quick trip like that not stressful?
Quite nice actually, esp if a direct flight. I can sleep on flights, so I wake up in Europe ready to go. On return, you have a night to sleep here before you return to work.
From Seattle, Thursday or friday 2pm flight to AMS or CDG, work on the flight for a few hours, arrive 9am, return Monday 2pm flight, work on the flight, back home by 4pm
West coast. Fly business class and get that π΄ in.
So you fly out Friday night and return Sunday night?
Yes. Sometimes Thursday night to Sunday night. Or Friday night to Monday night and take 1 day off or wfh from the plane.
