It's a novelty. No practical way to use it for anything business-related, unless you count on pure, dumb luck (which is what happened to us... once).
It's a cheap way to experience private jet travel, but the stars really have to align to make it worthwhile -- and most trips are well under one hour, as it's just repositioning craft to relatively nearby ports for paying customers -- e.g. Teterboro to White Plains (30 minutes), LGA to JFK (20 minutes), etc. Our Orange County (CA) to Vegas was a lark, as we just happened to need to get there for a trade show, and just bought a OW DL commercial fare back. Even then, we needed to make the trip a day early to take advantage of the flight, which was basically an hour in the air. The plane was small, too. I'm only 6'2" and I'd be surprised if the ceiling was over 5'6".
Again, we were on a DPJ card and not this Sky Access program, so I don't know if SA allows multiple pax on the user's SA account. If each pax needs their own SA account, then the prospect is even less appealing.
