A man who recently landed a job in Bengaluru is considering an unusual arrangement to avoid relocating to the city – flying in from Delhi every alternate week for the days he is required to work from the office.
Is it a good idea to get two return flights every other week for around five days and get a hotel or crash at a friend’s place for the time being?” he wrote. He also felt the arrangement could help him avoid spending heavily on rent and a security deposit, while a travel card could potentially reduce flight costs. “I recently got a job in Bengaluru where every alternate week is WFH, so in a way, I have to go to the office for around 10 days a month. Breaking down the numbers, he estimated that two round trips would cost around ₹ 32,000, while hotel accommodation for 10 days could add another ₹ 15,000. Including his other monthly expenses, he calculated the total cost at approximately ₹ 65,000. “The estimated cost is around ₹ 16k × 2 for round trips, a hotel for around ₹ 15k for 10 days, although I can also crash at a friend’s place.
Because he had lived there all his life and wanted to remain close to his family, the man added that he preferred Delhi.
But considering the self-sustaining option and assuming my expenditure for the entire month to be around ₹ 15k, the total would be approximately ₹ 65k max,” he said.
