Going contract rate for about any corporate jet with ocean crossing legs starts @ $1500 a day plus expenses. Expense first class seat, 4-star hotel and all meals to owners. The Global guys and gals are cleaning it out. I for one would rather fly to Hawaii, have a three day layover, Pocket $10k for me and expense the fuel and hotels, keep the points. It is way more sane than any airline on domestic with short layovers, long duty periods and the ACARS printer rolling half the flight with reroutes.
