For a frequent flyer, should airport access matter more than office commute?

Quick answer

Often, yes—especially when the employee is in the office only a few days a week or spends most weekdays at client sites. Grant generally sees 30–45 minutes to the airport as workable and would not sacrifice a clearly better neighborhood just to shave a few minutes off the airport drive. For a frequent traveler, his priority often becomes better neighborhood first, airport access second, and office commute third. The exact order changes if the person still reports to the office frequently, but the normal five-day-office framework should not be applied automatically to a travel-heavy role.
