The passenger comfort on many biz jets isn't that great compared to a (far cheaper) business-class ticket on a major airline, where flat-bed seats are the standard nowadays for longer flights (and also some shorter ones, depending on route.) | |

Travel to and from the airport takes less time as does getting a slot when you need it. The faster flight speed is just some icing on the cake. | |
