If you were insanely wealthy, would you ever bother to fly commercial?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) July 13th, 2011

Imagine you were wealthy, I mean wealthy enough so that owning a jet gave you as much thought as owning a lawn mower, would you bother to fly commercial? Thinking of this question “here”: http://www.fluther.com/124946/should-an-airlines-first-class-section-be-adults-only/, I had the thought if I were rich enough to own a Gulfstream G650, G500, Challenger 300, Citation X, or similar jet, I would never fly commercial. Why put up with pat downs, the ”see-all” scanner, being told how much stuff you can carry or pay through the nose to do it, being subject to cardboard tasting food, and horrendous in-flight movies? Why put up with not being allowed to smoke if you have that habit, having to sneak around if you wanted to get frisky Mile High Club, loud snoring passengers, chatty Cathy passenger, screaming kids, and crying babies less it be your own? What would make you fly commercial if you really had the means not to?
