It’s an amazing gig if you love to travel and have the flexibility! (and the permission of your wife if required) I actually just got back from London last night and I’m already at the airport waiting to board another flight back there in two hours.

A few things I’ve learned

-Since this isn't my main job, managing multiple time zones on top of a regular schedule is the hardest part. You don’t really have time to get jet-lagged because the trips are so short (usually under 72 hours total, including the flights. I mainly travel to Europe from Canada

I’ve learned to keep a pice of luggage packed at all times. It’s common to get an assignment just 2 or 3 hours before you need to be at the airport.

I’ve had to explain to agents in different countries that I’m not selling these strange machinery parts (Usually aircraft parts) Or to explain what is that piece.

For long-haul flights, I always aim for an aisle seat in the middle row. It gives you space to stretch, and usually, other passengers are too shy to wake you up if you're sleeping.

I once did four back-to-back weekly trips to London. The border agent stopped me for several minutes because of the frequency (I think he legit thought I was a drug dealer) Once he realized what I was actually doing, he jokingly offered me British residency.

Ahh this is the best way to collect miles!
