Steve Varsano argues that executives can reclaim weeks of their lives annually by flying private instead of commercial. Private jets skip security lines, connections, and distant airports, letting you work or rest in transit and spend more time with family.

There's nothing that replaces an executive's time, and you can't manufacture time, but in fact you can. Through using corporate aircraft, you really can multiply your time by weeks and weeks every year because of the amount of free time you'd have not having to deal with going to a commercial airport and making connections and going way in advance of a flight and waiting for your baggage, all that kind of stuff. So the time is the number one thing, and then after that, the security, the flexibility, the productivity. You could be working all the way. You could be on your telephone talking to your office or your employees or negotiating whatever you need to do. You can go into airports that are much closer to the location you're trying to get to. You can go nonstop to most places direct. Also, the quality of life. These corporate executives, sometimes they're gone 3, 4, 5 days a week, and by having a corporate jet, you reduce that number of days that you're away from your family.
