Every co-working space offers the basics; steady WiFi, table space, and maybe some coffee. Does your co-working space offer free food, drinks, and showers? Mine does! How much does yours cost monthly? Can't find pricing on the website, but they'll only tell you after a guided in-person tour? Mine is FREE!

✈How do you get in on this? It's easy! Book a First-Class, same-day, fully refundable ticket for late in the day. This grants you access to the Airport Lounge with comfortable seating, strong WiFi, free food, alcohol and dry drinks, plus showers for the actual travelers. You'll probably have some of the largest floor to ceiling windows in your city, too!

🍔How does it work? Head in whenever you'd like. Enjoy a quality brunch and drinks in comfortable seating alongside your laptop. Cancel your flight half an hour before departure for a full refund. Re-book the same flight for the next day. Rinse. Repeat. They can't repo your brunch because you never intended to set foot on a plane.

🎯Pro Tip: Depending on the airline, you may be able to just make it a "Same-Day Flight Change" and push it back to the next day and save a few keystrokes over cancelling and re-booking. 

💸Know the game. Airlines increase prices the closer it gets to your "departure". As the flight gets closer, they overbook routes with last-minute higher-priced tickets. The company triages their fees for bumping lower-status fliers against offering cash or credit incentives to volunteers to give up their seat to a higher-paying ticket-holder.

The takeaway: Do a little homework.You can purposely book the busiest route three weeks in advance to increase your odds of getting an offer to "volunteer" your seat before you intended to cancel it anyway. Personally, I like SAN-LAX for about $475 at 6:05pm. It's a good mix of commuters and conveniently timed for last-minute actual travelers to bump me.

What if the lounge has a 3-hour time limit? Silly goose, that's a 3-hour limit per ticket. Buy two tickets for the day. EZ.

See you there!
