I've been able to avoid the crash pad while commuting for four years. The crash pad may be cheaper overall, but time at home and having my own space are 1000% more important at this stage (I'm definitely not floating the self-funded positive space idea as a way to save money). I figure there's a trade off on the flight/hotel option in that if I have a guaranteed seat then there's no reason to go in the night before. Obviously the positive space for commuters might make that moot for the time being but that could be pulled at any time. Just trying to figure out if JB is the kind of place where life will be better as a commuter even if the flight is an hour longer than to ATL. Thanks!
