I once "hijacked" a plane that was supposed to go to Cuba. I was going to fly from Miami to a Bahamian island, but my office screwed up...

On the date I was told I was booked to make the trip, the small (really small) airline didn't have a flight to the island I needed to get to. But they did have a flight to Gitmo that day. I was desperate, so the airline said they would add a stop on my island on the flight to Cuba for $600.00. They agreed to diverted the flight to Gitmo to drop me off. The Bahamian customs officers were not amused by the surprise arrival and made all the other passengers pay a $10 departure tax. I would tell you why I needed to get to this particular island, but you wouldn't believe me.

Now I'm picturing you as Felix Leiter in training. Important enough to get folks to pay to divert a flight but not worthy to have dedicated flight -- nm - JD Aug 24, 20:37
