I can see occasional traveling as fun, and a break in routine. But I wonder if parent meant, "remote work from a hotel forever".

I ended up doing this unintentionally for the last ~1.5 years and...I have to be honest, I didn't hate it.

Maybe it was just pent-up energy from being stuck on a small island (Singapore) for the first two years of covid - and it probably helped that I was mostly in major European capitals - but once I got back into the swing of traveling again it was frankly delightful.

I've found air travel for business to be increasingly unpleasant in past years, mostly due to shrinking seat space. (I'm about 6'3".)

For that reason alone I try pretty hard to avoid it, unless there's a compelling reason.

I'm actually a little surprised there hasn't been a class action discrimination lawsuit by tall people against airlines. I'm only 6' with shoes on, and it's getting tight for me.
6'3", I buy the extra leg room.
I'm very lucky to work for a company that's understanding about this, and lets me get Economy+ -type tickets for this reason.

But it's the first company I've ever worked for that's so considerate.
