Well, this must cost a pretty penny…

A woman who works as a marketing manager posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers how and why she flies from New York to Chicago once a week to attend a class for graduate school.

Yes, you read that correctly…New York to Chicago and back every week.

She said that her flight leaves NYC at 6 a.m. every week and heads to the Windy City. She listens to podcasts and studies for her class on her weekly flight.

Her video shows her getting ready for a test on her flight, taking an Uber from the airport, and also shows her in class with fellow students.

She hopped on a flight back home after she ate lunch in Chicago and then got groceries and went home back in NYC after her plane landed.

That’s a looooooong day.

She then posted another video and talked about why she chose to go to school in Chicago instead of one of the many schools in New York.

She also talked about how much money this routine costs her, including airfare, Uber rides, and a hotel if she has to stay in Chicago for some reason instead of flying home to New York.

Check out what she had to say.
