Also chartering a jet from JFK to HKG is around $3400/hour, doesn’t fly direct so stopping for a fuel stop is necessary, meaning my flight time is more than 16 hours. How is that more economical again?
I'm implying if 10 minutes of your time is worth 10k, you will be better off chartering a G650, which can typically reach JFK nonstop, without strong headwinds.
