Relocation bonus / offsite is rare if you’re not required to be on-site for work, even at the higher paying FAANG like companies. If you truly want this, but you don’t understand that dynamic, you’re more than likely on the wrong side of the cooked job market. For context, places more likely to do this are places where you’re actually valuable as an intern. Think quants / trading, high performance sales programs, maybe some high end research positions.

You’ve got to have absolutely insane skills and work for a company with big money, in my experience companies want to give interns a good time and cool stuff but a helicopter ride is far out of my reach- even if the company I work for has its own pilots, for comp sci I’m not really sure why they would fly you anywhere

Other options would be like a travel oriented study abroad / international internship, or something that likely takes the travel cost from you (either from your own budget or out of your pay). Small chance you could work like in mining or disaster recovery or an industry where as an intern you would give them a positive ROI from being flown to a customer / internal site.

Completely right. That’s why I said rare. Banks would be one of the more common, but it’s 50/50 if they’ll do that for orientation / training as an intern. More common for FTE or academies from my understanding?
