I wouldn't put having a chauffeur in the same category as flying private. Sure, having someone else drive you around allows you to make phone calls, check email in the back seat. But flying private allows you to set your schedule and not wait around for the next flight out. There is a video (and I believe it's linked in this thread) about a Walmart exec visiting stores across the country. It's likely in some small to medium sized town with a regional airport. If they meet with the team from 9-12 and the next flight out isn't until 5pm, they are wasting that time waiting. Instead they fly their plane in, meet, fly out at 12:15 and are in the next town with the next manager in 45 minutes.
