At 4:17 AM, a private club in Lujiazui, Shanghai. A private equity founder just finished a transpacific call with New York investors, the Huangpu River lights blurred in rain fog outside. His assistant handed over an itinerary—not OTA standard quotes, but an annual configuration plan customized by iFlyPlus advisors based on his yearly travel patterns. Executive travel isn't displacement—it's maintaining decision continuity while moving.
