It&#x27;s crazy that he could take ~250 flights for $2500 (other costs excluded): $10 a flight?<p>I was thinking this would have worked out even at $50-$100 a roundtrip with 12 trips a month (though probably not with rent in LA as it&#x27;s not sufficiently cheaper than Bay Area).<p>One thing that&#x27;s not commented on is the carbon footprint.
