I've been sugaring for more than a decade and that is ONLY when traveling.
The key to the best relationships was very frequent and fairly predictable travel to your SBs' cities. For a golden while, I had three in rotation in three different cities, each one in her 20s and professionally employed full-time. I highly doubt they were pros or semi pros.
Each date in the rotation above included an upscale, leisurely meal (which I enjoy) and BCD time. One of the girls stayed overnight every single time (except the first time we met) and the other two stayed over sometimes, but those two could also meet during the day.
The best way to get the date when traveling is to ping the POT 3-5 days before arriving and move to text as soon as possible. I would always explain up front that I travel most of the time and I was in their city about half or one-third of the weeks in a year. They would know that, and my expectations, including allowance, before we met. I only had three in long-term rotation once, but I've had many, many SBs for multiple dates, often stretching over more than a year. I have been seeing one girl infrequently for more than six years.
My best cities were Chicago, NYC, and DC. But I've had good luck in every city I've tried (at least a dozen) EXCEPT for Miami. I've just given up there. (How do you do it, Hobbyist1958?)
The bowl has changed a great deal over the last decade. There are way more obvious pros and scammers to sort through now. In general, it just takes more work to get a date and even more work to find a good SB. The allowances have gone way up and long gone are the glory days when sometimes a girl would just not take an allowance. (But I'm older, uglier, and fatter now!) The girls are much better informed about sugaring and some of that information is just plain bad or wrong. And, I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are working OF on the side. (Maybe OF is why coeds aren't as plentiful as they used to be).
I spend a lot of time on the road so if I don't sugar on the road, I'm not sugaring.
Main pros to sugaring on the road:
You already have the hotel
Discretion (for you)
Vastly expanded pool of babies (if you live in a smaller town)
Some of the babies are enchanted by the idea of a traveling, upscale daddy. It seems classy and exotic to them.
Cons:
It's just harder to find a girl who agrees to an arrangement with a traveler. She's afraid you'll see her once and dump her (unless she's a pro and then she won't care). Most girls want a SD who lives in her city. Sometimes you just can't convince her to believe you're there enough of the time (but you want the kind of girl who wants that kind of consistency). A phone call or video chat helps.
If you're only in town 1-3 nights, you don't really have time for sexless "meet 'n' greets" unless you're more patient than I am.
Weekend sugar is rare if your travel is for work.
Baby can get very bummed if Daddy says "I won't be back for three or four weeks."
When Baby randomly texts that she needs Daddy ($$$) right now and Daddy is hundreds of miles away, it sucks.
One flight delay can mess up your whole evening.
