I'm with you. From Tokyo I can go to multiple countries for less than 200 USD round trip. 300 USD and my choices increase to more than 10 countries.
And the "cost" outside of that is shuffling around an airport listening to an audiobook for a couple of hours, then a few hours of cramped pleasant conversation with a stranger or mediocre naps or reading a book?
It's not the ideal situation, of course, but the last flight I was on I was able to program my first game (shitty breakout clone in Lua and Love2D) from start to finish.
