It requires a lot of dedication and a willingness to get up early and catch the first flight, having a couple of options after that in case the first one is full. Normally, you can jumpseat on the earliest flight without issue. I also never had trouble getting home on Saturday afternoon.

Keep a beater car or a motorcycle at the Southwest city.

Enjoy your Saturday evening and Sunday, rinse, repeat.
