With that being said, how often do you fly commercial as an analyst?
I say "commercial" only because I have experience flying my own planes and am totally fine with smaller planes. It's being strapped to a hunk of steel with 120+ other people at 35,000 ft. that isnt really my thing.
Does your job as an analyst require travel, or does that become more important when you move up and start sourcing deals?

It's highly unlikely you'll travel as an analyst. If you were at a small boutique, then maybe.
Analysts at my BB travel all the time.
How about this...get the fuck over it and do your job.
75% of the flights I've taken this year have been in a hang glider. The other 25% allowed me to drink three 187 mL bottles of Yellowtail shiraz at 35,000 feet (pressured of course).
Three or four hour flights are a fact of life in the business world. Bring some magazines, bring some music, get gogo inflight, buy some booze, and enjoy the fact that you don't have to worry about the launch, weather, crosswind gusts, and the landing.
You had me up until shiraz. Really?
hello my fellow monkey
please do remind yourself every now and then that there are very smart people, doing non-finance related jobs that are meaningful to the world/economy, but get paid less than you, and fly commercial
sincerely fellow monkey
Split a used cessna with some friends and fly yourself, you said you have experience.
