Belfast to London every week. Been doing it for over 4 years now.
I try and negotiate 1 - 2 days at home, and have generally been quite lucky.

Yep - did it for years Manchester into Heathrow.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostSo its possible but requires an accommodating ClientCo?
Once BMI changed the plane on a Monday morning to something smaller, the cost of flights rocketed and I changed to going by train.
If I get one of the roles I'm looking at right now, it will be London again or another flight elsewhere in the country.

I did it between the SE and Yorkshire at one time. I would work every day including Sat/Sun for 2-3 weeks straight, then head back home for 2-3 days during the week.
For the most part I managed to avoid travelling on Mondays and Fridays, and could get away with flying standby by picking my flights carefully.
But when I was working further from home, Germany for example, I would only go home 1 weekend in 2 or three. It was simply too much hassle to do that every weekend.

a TWaT.Originally posted by Pondlife View PostI work in France and Germany on a regular basis.
Fly out Monday eve, fly back Thurs eve.
I did a few months of the south coast to Glasgow a while back. Out Sunday night, back Friday. No way I'd do that again but I didn't mind at the time. Being a twat like pondlife is as far as I'll go these days and prefer wfh.
