I was asked to fly out to poland and back in a day for some work.
Flew out at 6am ... there at midday. Hour to offices, two hours work, hour back to airport and back home on the 5pm flight. Got back to UK at middnight (after fecking around as I flew out from Stanstead into Luton so had to get taxi to pick car up).
Not doing that ever, ever again.

I used to work in Costa Mesa in California and fly there and back every 2 weeks. Good for the air miles if nothing else
