Why private makes sense for short flights
On a 48 minflight, the air time is almost irrelevant — it's the ground time that kills the trip. Commercial travel adds 3-4 hours of overhead: drive to a major airport, TSA security, gate time, baggage claim, and ground transport at the other end. With a private charter, you arrive 15 minutes before departure, board immediately, and have a car waiting when you land. What would be a half-day ordeal becomes a quick, productive trip.
