You really have 2 requests: Comfortable for 2 weeks, I have one set of suggestions. But you need to fly with it. So that changes my recommendation. We have a Eureka 4 person tent in a tall configuration that we have flown with. There is a similar tent in production called the Kelty Tallboy 4. It is 5'10" in the center which makes it a little more comfortable. Also, while I know a Scout is Thrifty, considering some of your gear to be disposable might be to your advantage: pick up a ground tarp and a camp chair at a Walmart. Gift it to someone who is driving or donate it to a Goodwill on your way back to the airport.
Check online resellers. I bought a Eureka Copper Canyon LX in May from [The Last Hunt](https://thelasthunt.com) They’ve only got the 6 person Space Camp Tent right now but they’re worth keeping an eye on.
For a tent, I want something I can stand up in and move around a bit to change clothes, store gear and not trip over anything while I do it. We have a Eureka Copper Canyon that has lasted us awhile. For sleeping, I typically lean towards a hammock if I'm by myself. When I'm with the wife, we use 24" tall inflatable twin mattresses. No sharing of air mattresses. The height makes it a bit easier to get in and out of bed. Our cookware is still mostly stuff used for boiling water and a carbon steel skillet for cooking. I think the pot we use for boiling water is made by Stanley, but it's very old. Carbon steel skillets are expensive, but lightweight and very versatile. Think of a lighter version of cast iron. We keep a French press for coffee. A Yeti cooler seems to handle several days for keeping food cold if it starts out frozen. Fresh veggies are the first items we cook and we keep a few dehydrated meals for the end of the week or in case something spoils. I like to freeze a couple gallon jugs of spring water beforehand to use for cooling food, but also drinking as it thaws. This is all of course for car camping. We don't need much to be comfortable, so there are no large batteries or generators. The point is to separate yourself from civilization, so no tablets, internet devices outside of maybe a Kindle and cell phone that is kept in the car.
Check out Eureka’s line of larger tents. Might be something there. I have a copper canyon for car camping and it’s huge. I’m 6’3 and can stand up.
I love our White Duck 10x10 Pro Rata tent. Can stand easily plenty of room for queen mattress, dog beds, duffles, etc. It can be a pain to stake down on hard grounds. I got a Eureka Copper Canyon for short trips, or ones that I don’t worry about weather https://preview.redd.it/6rwit5ts9j4f1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ebcb14cb5fa89b8891244458c437c204c8eda12
I’ve got two Eureka’s (2 and 4 person). The two is from 1995. No issues with either
