SF to Boston. It hurt on so many levels. Sleep. Diet. Exercise. Mental health.

Only saving grace was flex travel. $900 can pretty much take you anywhere from Boston so I spent one weekend a month in a different city from Miami to Quebec City

Sad to admit that I’ve been stuck doing coast to coast (SF-NY) almost every week for two years now. Back breaking. Health wrecking

I’ve done SF to Boston for 5 months without many gaps. Killed my back and as ACN1 says, hurt on many levels :(
Try to choose a good/spacious airline that’s not too full most days. JetBlue for me was a blessing even though I was United 1K the route was so busy I couldn’t get upgraded at all - stopped flying them

Which direction? If E-W, then aim for an early afternoon return flight on Thur. If W-E, try to avoid Sunday travel! Also check your firm's travel policy for booking business class (or a Y-up fare class that allows for instant upgrade).

I did Chicago to Phoenix and then down to Tucson weekly for a while. It was pretty draining, but nice in the winter

I did NYC—LA for about 6 months at 27, mostly in coach (I’m old and there was no comfort+ back then). I don’t think i could do it weekly now even in first

All. Of. The. Above. Including the tapas box
