Actually, if you fly across the pond, does your client want you to stay nearby, or do they sometimes have you fly back and forth if they stay a while? How often, if ever, do you guys fly long distances with no passengers?

Do not believe that Steve and our pax would get along well together. Libs tend to be eaten alive inside our plane...
We stay with the airplane. If we are staying for a long time in one location we are given the option of flying home Bus Class or flying the wife/girlfriend to where we are staying. Guess which one happens more often? 
Only when picking up someone in a different location or ferrying for maintenance do we fly empty. Today we are flying from Boston to Vegas, dropping the primary off then empty from Vegas to Tucson for maintenance. Nice to have the weekend off.
Been out over 3 months now, with 12 days home for emergency dental issues. Time for a month or two off to recharge.
