It's not unheard of for certain industries and roles. I'm in an individual contributor role and I'm required to travel at least once a quarter. I'm actually working from home today only because I had to be somewhere close to home yesterday (but not my office) and then was supposed to be on the other side of the country the next morning which was unfeasible.
My previous role was at a company headquartered in another country and it wasn't unheard of to fly to New York and work out of that office for a week before flying out to Europe to the main office to work there for another week. Etc, etc.
A lot of people see traveling for work as a privilege, and I guess it is, but it sucks and is exhausting. Yeah you get miles, and if you're lucky the credit card points if you're able to book your own hotels and flights, but I rather just have all that travel time back to myself. At least I can get a lot of reading done in the air.

You fly back and forth between the US and UK several times in 1 month?
