Not all commutes are created equal. Mine for instance, is not bad at all. 1 leg, 8 flights, early/late options, own metal. Offline options on DA as well with many options to get to ATL then to CLT in a pinch.

Commuting to reserve isn’t fun. And requiring 2 legs to commute across time zones isn’t fun either. Avoid those and it won’t be the end of the world.
