What flight are we talking about?
I would imagine it would not take long to prep a 737 size plane for a flight. After the last flight, they likely addressed any issues, topped off any hydraulics or lubricants, and made sure there were no outstanding issues. They might even top off the fuel depending on how they manage that. I imagine it could be ready to go in 15 min.
The flight plan, however might be another thing. Pilots would have to answer that...how long it takes to file one, etc.
The only reasons for flying 20 miles:
1. There are no roads.
2. you are flying over enemy occupied territory to get to the other side.
She went from Martha's Vineyard to Nantucket. If she tried to drive it she'd drown.
I was only a jet mech in my former life, and that was single seaters, but...I can’t imagine the process is much different in many respects.
**The change in altitude and plood pressure can be fatal.**
Plood Pressure?
PLOOD PRESSURE?
That is hugh! And series!
It was island hopping for the rich.
Another mystery post.
...
Can be fatal?
Yeah, where is fatal when you need it?
Hillary will drop out of the race at the point that it is too late to get an alternate on the ballot. Trump will win. Obama will then claim it is an unprecedented situation and refuse to honor the election results. He will find Federal circuit court to agree with him. It will go to Supreme Court who will either refuse to hear it, or split 4-4. Suprisingly, Breyer and Kennedy will vote with Alito and Thomas against Obama. Roberts will side with the three witches. It goes back to Federal appeals court. Ruling stands. Fait accompli. Obama is dictator.
To be fair, there are no roads between the islands and the plane was already there.
Getting a boat big enough for queen H and her staff to do the round-trip would’ve probably been a bigger waste
Interesting theory.
When I read about her 20 mile flight I was wondering because unless there were landing strips nearly adjacent to the departure and destination points, you'd probably go nearly that far just to get to and from the plane. Add to that the cost (she wouldn't care since even if she were footing the bill, all she would have to do is hit up some radical islamic state for a "contribution") and the environmental impact - oh sorry, the rules are for little people, certainly NOT Her Thighness.
If flying is a risk for her, then how is she planning on going to any international events as POTUS?
I understand that the trip was between Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket - both islands, so driving would involve ferries back to mainland and then out again to Nantucket.
maybe there’s a boat between the two islands - I’ve never been there.
why isn’t some media type sitting on her doorstep watching every move and reporting on it ?
and in my head I just heard “welcome to fantasy island”.

Luxury. One hour. Private charters available. Easiest way to make the trip unless there is a typhoon.
The weather here is perfect.
There was no medical emergency. It was a fundraising emergency.
Not for nothing but there is no way to get from Martha’s Vineyard to Nantucket without either getting on a ferry or flying. I wouldn’t think the secret service would be thrilled to have her go on a ferry.
Can’t you just give this poor woman a break? She had to fly because she can’t drive!
