While one might be able to plot a route to LAX at less than 7500nm, I'm not sure that a combination of projected fuel state at landing (for official reasons), a margin for weather and ATC slowdowns/diversions and the state of the crew and pax's rear ends after all that sitting (comfort) would make a non-stop in a Gulfstream possible. I suspect that all aboard would benefit from a pit stop along the way.
