But even the very rich need to use the bathroom from time to time, and landing a jet is significantly more involved than stopping a car for a break.

I'd imagine you wouldn't buy this plane if that was a concern. So you'd be only looking at flight times of a 2-3 hours.

It'll do roughly 700 (2 hours) - 1400 (3.5 hours) miles [0]. Depending on weight and speed. So seems about perfect for flying the kids up to ski the weekend in Colorado [1] for all the Silicon Valley folk.

Just buy a 50¢ adult diaper and go to the bathroom without leaving the comfort of your seat.

That seems to be the option for $3M jets as well. You have to get up to $4M to get a door in front of your toilet.

Here's the $3M toilet option (Cessna Citation Mustang): https://blog.privatefly.com/us/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/mu...

not really very hard to imagine. money doesn't always equal good at logistics...

Why stop when you can leak in the sky.
