I also discovered great HVAC comfort in the interstate hotels I would overnight in
For much of my career, I’ve spent a lot of time on planes traveling to do business. When I first started this part of my job, it was sort of thrilling to be winging out to different locales to close deals or address challenges. But as time went on, the air travel became more and more of a hassle. The planes themselves got less comfortable. It seemed like I could never get on a flight where the heating and cooling was in my comfort range. Most often it was me dealing with hot and stuffy conditions due to a lack of HVAC cooling on flights. This was always something that annoyed me because I’d get off those flights sort of wrecked and have to go right into meetings. Plus, the hotels in the cities I was visiting were sort of hit and miss on HVAC equipment as well. It was like 50/50 whether or not the room I was staying in would have proper HVAC. Then, the pandemic hit. There was no more flying for me until I was fully vaccinated. So for a year, I had to hit the road to get to our customers. But honestly, it was a breath of fresh air in a way. I enjoyed the air conditioning comfort of my car much more than most flights I’d been booked on. I also discovered great HVAC comfort in the interstate hotels I would overnight in. Those rooms came with serious HVAC equipment and I never suffered through the night with poor heating and cooling. Now that I’m back to flying, I asked the travel department to start booking me in the sort of hotels I was staying in while I was on the road.
