          I’m just assuming it’s doing what rich people do to avoid the plebs. Keep in mind cars have to use roads like ordinary people. Do you really think billionaires risk getting into regular traffic much? I can’t imagine that.

                  I think that’s mostly because of the sheer mass of flights with them. But yeah - and at the same time - apparently not common enough to take out more billionaires.

                  Nevertheless, it doesn’t change the fact that from airport to venue, there’s a limited set of options, and besides helis, I don’t see any option other than using public roads or railways.
