“I’m dipping my toe into a long-distance relationship with Paris—I repeat, with Paris, the city, the love of my life; no in Paris, for anyone keeping track and who might be freaked out by my intentions. Likewise, I have Google Flights alerts for nonstop tickets between New York-JFK and Paris-CDG. Currently, basic economy flights (ie no checked baggage allowance, no seat selection, etc.) clock in at around $400 to $500, which doesn’t sound too bad. But I’m a chronic overpacker, so I’m currently trying to figure out the best way to get airline status with Air France so I can get the baggage benefits (or maybe get a credit card that defaults to Delta and offers some perks). . All that to say: You won’t catch me in 2025 with a backlog of PTO days.
