Found that bit surprising one. For European startup long weekend in Greece isn't that special. The flights can be quite cheap and Greece generally isn't that expensive country. A few hundred all together could probably be done.


Would the European startup workers you know fly to Malaysia or Peru for their 3-day weekend?


Sure, but it’s quite a flight from San Francisco


Yeah, and I don’t think there are any direct flights, so it’s even more painful. Best-case scenario is a stop in Frankfurt, IIRC.


I’ve always been surprised by the flight costs of some European airlines. It seems cheaper to fly around Europe than it is to fly within the US. I recall during the peak of the pandemic some people I know posting pictures of $5 flights while in the US they were they were still 10-11 times that for domestic flights.


The idea that "A few hundred all together" isn't that special is precisely what the post is about!
