Live In Spain, Work In The UK

Budget airlines are making trans-continental commutes popular. With so many people currently living hours from London, and commuting to the capital daily for work, the era of budget airlines is making trans-continental commutes increasingly popular.

The expanding coverage of the European rain network, competitive airlines flying from airports throughout the UK, and more flexible working hours than make means that it is now more convenient to live in Spain and commute than it is to spend half the working day crawling along congested British motorways to central London, or spending hundreds of pounds on rail travel.

A recent report states that the average daily commute for a British worker is one hour and thirty minutes, with many suffering even longer journey times. With this in mind, a growing number of savvy workers are relocating to Spain while retaining their current, UK-based jobs and enjoying the best of both worlds.

Spain’s combination of good weather, laidback lifestyle, lower living costs, excellent air transport links and close proximity to the UK make it the obvious choice for those commuters looking for something different without spreading their wings too far.

While it may not be realistic to travel so far every day, many people are opting to arrange to go into the office for three days a week, and working from home for the remaining two days, while other people arrange to work a ten day on/ten day off shift pattern, staying with friends while in the UK.

So, it can be done, especially if your new home is close to an airport serviced by regular, low cost flights, flexible working hours, and a laptop with round-the-clock internet access. Monday blues could soon become a thing of the past.
