There are multiple reasons why people need to take a trip somewhere. They can be heading off to have some fun or going away for the purpose of work. Whatever you need to fly for it would be really nice if you could get on that plane and relax. It might also be wonderful if you could board and then get some work done. It is pretty hard to do either these days.
There is a reason why there are no amenities and why the service is hard to take. Because of all the cheap flights available they have to cut corners somewhere. For those people that are heading off to their bargain vacations, they need the lowest cost possible and have no trouble dealing with the consequences. For business people though, it is bad enough that they have started to look for alternatives.
While one traditional mode of transportation fades into the past and has lost the luster and magic that it once held, another mode has begun to take a more prominent role, especially in business travel. The private, chartered flight has become more prevalent. In business it can make a lot of sense, especially if you are moving around the country quickly and have multiple stops to make. For an executive it really makes a lot of sense, both financially and time wise.
Waiting around in airports for flights and trying to coordinate multiple flyers and keep everybody moving can be a logistical nightmare. With a charted flight, there can be multiple stops in multiple cities all in the same day if needed. Down time is eliminated substantially and more work can be accomplished in a shorter period of time. In addition to these time savers, the executive is out of the office and on the road for a shorter period of time which means more work can be done and less down time. Also, while in flight, the traveling group can actually get something accomplished.
There is so much that you can do with your charter flight that is impossible with a commercial flight. No one is going to make you stay in your seat while the plane is flying. That means that all of the occupants can work while they fly and discuss whatever business strategies that they need to. It can become a power lunch in the sky with everyone all together for a little while.
