170 flights in a year averaging 200 minutes in air for... kim kardashian? What the heck does she need to fly for so far every other day?

This is basically their version of commuting.

Looking at her flight log, my guess is the jet she owns is run by a company that rents it out to other people. If that’s not the case, I have no idea why anyone would fly from Atlanta to Savannah and then depart again 2 hours later. Must be rented out to others

  > Atlanta to Savannah and then depart again 2 hours later Savannah is such a hidden and unique gem, and truly one of the most beautiful cities in the country. It's not hard to imagine taking a quick meeting there. Lots of important people flow through the city. I'm hoping we get high speed rail on the Atlanta-Savannah corridor one day. The drive is a real slog and it's filled with deceptively unfair speed traps from podunk little towns using speeding tickets as their primary source of revenue.

    I'll take a guess you got caught speeding.

      Not yet, knock on wood. But it's a super stressful drive.

  Is it a Gulfstream? Might be a maintenance run since Gulfstream's HQ is in Savannah.

    It is a Gulfstream G650ER.

  There's a concept called the "$100-dollar hamburger" in aviation, which is where one takes an otherwise-unnecessary trip for aviation reasons (i.e. maintaining minimum flight time for qualifications, shaking down a plane after maintenance, etc.). Atlanta -> Savannah -> Atlanta with a 2-hour turnaround could be hundred-dollar hamburger. It might also be two different people using the jet. But... TBH, it might also be that she owns a jet and wants to take a day-trip.

    Elvis once famously flew cross-country to Denver for an 8,000 calorie peanut butter sandwich.

    Idk what you're flying but they're costing about 500 w/ tip these days

I would hate such a lifestyle. Also consider that she probably doesn't live near the airport so that's a lot of mostly wasted time per day.
