>Even with the stops, you can come out ahead in travel time and total comfort. I seriously doubt that. I've been in corporate jets like Citations. They're really tiny inside; I can't stand up in them at all. Small jets do much worse with turbulence, and being so small inside, they just aren't going to have the amount of space available that you get with a first-class "cubicle" that you get on one of the top-tier international airlines. And no, you won't come out ahead in total travel time; those little planes just can't cross the Pacific in one hop, especially if you're coming from the East Coast US. The people you know probably just go from the East Coast to London or something, which is a pretty short trip. Try flying to Australia or Japan instead.
