It takes about three and a half hours to fly from New York City to Des Moines, Iowa — a flight Donald Trump is intimately familiar with. Reuters reports that unlike virtually all other presidential candidates who choose to spend the night in hotels around the country while on the campaign trail, Trump gets back on his plane at the end of every day so he can sleep in his own bed in New York.
Trump's schedule this week [...] illustrates his tendency to get out of town quickly. On Monday evening he addressed a crowd in Lowell, Massachusetts, and was due to address a rally in Claremont, New Hampshire, just a couple of hours north the following day. Instead of overnighting in a hotel, he flew home. On Tuesday Trump flew to Claremont and then returned to New York. [Reuters]
