How fortunate for you to have such mikvah house available for your use.

It's not a matter of fortunate. It's a matter of priority and Halacha.
My previous rebbetzin has a cousin in Alaska. Before the mikvah was built there, she flew to Washington state every month to use the mikvah. It's not like it's something that a Jewish woman does simply because it's a nice thing to do. It is a requirement and she must arrange her life accordingly.

What happens if you dont have the money to fly once a month?

Did she really have to go through that much trouble? A lake or the sea could very well serve as a mikvah.
In fact, local Chabad has even used a swimming pool from time to time...

those must have been some adjustments....must not have been much of
a swimming pool after that, LOL.
All I know is that it used to be a swimming pool, belonging to an old lady - and she agreed to turn it into a mikveh for a price.
To be honest with you, I never got to see it. Neither before, nor after any eventual changes that might have been made to the place. I never went to that mikveh, but I oftentimes heard them saying they were going to or coming from that place. Chabad folks loved doing mikveh all the time, but I think only men used that one. Sometimes they'd go twice on Shabbat: before sunset and on Saturday morning.
Now they have another mikveh they built for the community.
