I flew this a few (well, several years ago, when TATL J milesAAvers were still relatively easy to come by). DFW-RDU-LHR, my seatmate worked for Glaxo, he told me he flew the route every other week or so, and that probably 90% of the J cabin were his coworkers.

It's Bentonville, AR, about 7 miles from Northwest Arkansas Regional (XNA). Pretty sure XNA's actually the normal airport for Walmart.

Wal-Mart flies all of their private aircraft out of ROG, Rogers Municipal airport, through Wal-Mart's wholly owned Beaver Lake Aviation.
I've flown out of that airport private for my company a number of times.
Tyson has their private planes held at XNA.

I've seen LAX-MCO referred to as the Disney Express, with a supposed more-than-typical allocation of mainline and two-aisle planes to accommodate Disney execs in F.

Was there ever an NGO-LAX flight to support Toyota (when their North American HQ was in Torrance)? I don't recall in the past 18 years I've been in LA.

The "Motorola Express" routes of ORD-PHX, ORD-AUS, and AUS-PHX used to be so thick with Motorolans that you could have had legitimate meetings en route in the 90s.
