    $\begingroup$ Also worth noting that even 0.93 isn't really that much faster than most airliners designed for long-distance flight. The 747-400's MMO is 0.92, for example. 777-300ER is 0.89. It's more the narrowbody aircraft (designed primarily for relatively short flights) that have the lower MMOs (0.82 for 737 and A320, for example.) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @reirab: correct, that 0. something Mach more doesn't change anything for a flight of one hour, that's why many regional airplane are more efficient turboprops. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Just being able to avoid a connection would be a huge time saver, probably more than all the other items you mentioned. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The logistics for boarding a private jet is VERY fast. After being cleared to enter the airport (very quick and basic clearance), you can literally drive up to the plane, board, and take off. They don't care about scanning your bags because if you blow yourself up, it's your own plane. $\endgroup$
