After having suffered for years on end from total brainless ops ladies that would put you in a 60€ hotel in Rome because 100 close to the airport was too much to spent (for a minimum rest stay), only that the hotel was an hours and a half away (Rome is small...or rather the ladies brain?), so we spent twice the difference for the transfer and were quite knackered on check in...
Now I finally manage 'my' little FD with one airplane and just us 2 pilots and love every minute of it. It also saves a lot of telephone cost, I just complain to myself when the hotel is ****ty...
Whilst the airplane got a little smaller (CL30 to C680) the fun got bigger and we have loads of it. What I miss is the shiny destinations like Cannes, Mallorca or Fuerteventura, but hey, I will be getting an Aktau/Kazachstan frequent traveller card soon....and who can say THAT!!!
