737s are bad enough. I can't imagine spending 8 hours bouncing across the
atlantic in something not much bigger than a minibus, comfortable seats or
not.
Perhaps they fly around the turbulence?
Some business jets fly higher and faster than airliners.
Some storm clouds go up to 60K feet. The only civil aircraft that could go
over them would be concorde.
If they're flying above the normal air routes, they probably have more
freedom to pick/change their own route.
Does an executive jet have enough range to divert around a huge atlantic front,
some of which can span thousands of miles?
