In fairness if you play around with dates you can get tickets for just under £40k.

£40k! That's less than £1000 per hour flight time.

If the money doesn't affect you, why not?

Let's face it, if you're some prima donna football player on £200k/week, you'd hardly notice it

It's a complete waste of money but if I were to win the lottery jackpot I'd book it like a shot. Sadly for me that's the only chance I'll have and the odds aren't exactly great!

It's technically money saving. It's aimed at the private jet market who would otherwise spend far more on a flight of that length.

Would it cost more than that though? Maybe in total, but what about per person if several people travel?

Cheapish private jet on that route would be roughly £500k. Even putting your entire entourage in F on the same plane is money saving. You'd also be restricted to smaller airfields and stop overs which is less appealing.
