If a Speaker was from Hawaii, she would be entitled to secure transport and a C-20 probably won't do it.

C-20's are equipped for in-flight refueling.

And the argument wasn't that she wanted it to fly her, or her entourage, it was that she wanted it to fly her entourage, when she wasn't on it.

Air taxi service, a'la you and me.
