I mean this with the utmost sincerity, but how do you know long haul international (for 15 days) is something you’d enjoy?
Have you done it? It’s fun, but it’s also crazy boring and mind-numbingly fatiguing when you’re not doing a simple United out and back to DUB from EWR. It’s rough on you. Add in a family or even a girlfriend to that mix, and it’s tough on people. 15 days on the road flying through 31 time zones isn’t healthy. You become a zombie. I’ve done it. For years.
Im not saying don’t go to Omni, have a buddy there, I’m just saying be realistic and don’t romanticize it.
