Depends on how your project feels about change fees

You do u

Check with whoever is managing your project budget.

It sounds like you're saying booking a brand new one-way is cheaper than the price to change flight to a new location (change fee +/- price difference). That said - you're still adding an extra flight / extra-cost for a non-valid reason, so unless you're on a super chill project, probably not.

Or, if the reason is valid just let your project SM know and it should be fine!

Fair points. Thanks everyone

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

Seriously thinking of taking a 6 mo sabbatical and getting away from it all for a while next year. Potentially travel around the world in Q3 / Q4 presuming the pandemic situation has improved. Single and kids are in college so no day to day family responsibilities. Anyone done something similar? Would love to hear your experiences. I know it will set me back from making Partner by at least 1 year but who cares? I feel like it will be a life changing experience (traveling around the world part).
