I played around with this model while I lived in the Bay Area of NorCal. Fly a SB from LA to San Jose, pick her up at the airport and spend 2-3 days together.
For me, I had the best results when I planned out a full itinerary for the event, including some alone time. But there's a few dynamics that contributed to my successes.
1. She really was interested in the travel bit - in this case wine tasting in Napa, and night scenes in San Francisco.
2. She was comfortable with her typical allowance PLUS all expenses paid and some additional cash for shopping, etc.
3. We got along well, didn't often have those awkward periods where no one wants to talk, and there was enough interesting non-BCD activities to the trip interesting and fun for her even without the sex.
But here are what the worst results looked like:
1. She never go on the plane and ghosted me. Plane fare, pre-paid hotel expense, wine tour expense fees all wasted.
2. She got the plane - with a guy! and ducked me in the airport. I had to see vids from her IG of both of them at baggage claim.
3. She arrives and immediately complains, bitches, asks for more cash, and I end up sending her home early (after paying the change fee for the airfare).
Ultimately, higher risk, but potentially higher reward. Try to mitigate the risk as much as possible by pre-discussing expectations.
