At one point I did a lot of it.

Obviously the security/customs stuff was quicker ( was doing Canada to many US locations)

The problem was that every flight was a working flight- its just a mobile conference room and there is no escape. Did not find them cramped though.

I much prefer first or business where I can relax for a while and get to a meeting more relaxed.

I did a few flight where I was a customer and there was time to enjoy it - one of the most memorable moments was near Colorado- we were at 42,500 feet and below us was a 747 and we could see his contrails....beautiful to see..like an ocean liner, with the Rockies below him. This was before iPhones, so never got a pic.

Paris to Newark in a Gulfstream IV is $65,000! eek
Newark, New Jersey or Newark, Nottinghamshire? hehe
If you can fill all the seats that's maybe $4,500 or $5000 each. Flexible business class on Air France would be about $3500. First class BA from London to Newark about $12000.

I believe there are some chaps in Bogotá offering a free flight if you wouldn't mind carrying their suitcases to Farnborough for them.
