As a pilot, you have the opportunity to travel all over the world. Many pilots work for airlines or private flight businesses where their primary responsibility is to carry passengers to different locations. Once you arrive at your destination, you often have the chance to spend some time there before your next flight. This means you’re essentially getting free airfare to travel, which significantly reduces the cost. In addition, if you work for an airline, many allow their pilots to purchase tickets at a reduced price so that you can travel for cheaper even if you aren’t working during the flight.
