At no point is there ever a legitimate reason to pay that kind of money for such a short distance. I can only imagine if you wanted to do a cross country trip.

At no point was I ever planning to use them to book a trip, but was more curious to the cost.

For such a short trip, you could hire a Cessna 182 and do it for probably less than $500 round trip with three passengers and baggage. Not as luxurios, but perhaps more fun.
