It all depends. Some factors are seat seniority, plane type, how much commute time is reasonable to the individual.

A while back I met a guy who commuted DEN to Anchorage, then there was the guy who lived in Canada & flew out of GA. We’ve had some commute across the Atlantic for family reasons.

In general, it can be an extra 4 hours to 1/2 a day on each end to work it out. I’m generally of the mindset to do what you have to getting settled, but try to avoid 25 years of commuting by air.

Many of us average driving to work once a week, we can live further out than average. With that, we have options. Draw a 2.5 hour circle around the airport based, look there.

Some tricks are to bunch up trips, maybe get a private pad near the based airport. The commuter will always have criteria excluding a good number of trips, perfectly fine trips for the non-commuter.

Yeah, if one wants to spend their life at the airport, most any commuting schedule is doable.
