In my life I have flown 14-18 hour flights to Asia and it was a big improvement when they finally designed Lye flat seats to begin with and a domestic airlines upgraded to real cabins where you had more than 12 in to stretch. I always bought the seats on the cheap and I paid 1/3 of what the guy next to me would pay because he got it for free from his clients. How is the spendthrift but enjoyed the actuality of the luxury of the flight compared to some snook in the back with a 22 inch wide seat
Interesting, I know nothing about chartering private jets, but a quick google seems to imply $1,000 to $10,000 per flight hour, and the Singapore to NY flight is 27 to 30 hours one way.

I guess if you are rich enough to afford this (assuming your company isn't paying) then another zero or two on the end doesn't matter. After all, $100 Million boats are now a thing.
