"In its commercial configuration the 757-200 usually
seats 175-190 passengers."

Lets call it 180 seats.

No, let's call it 42 since that's the number of business class seats on the
plane she (or whomever) was talking about. The plane in question is not the
commercial 757, but a customized version with far fewer seats.

Given the OP's assertion:

CNN reports that Nancy's B757 operating costs are $22,000.00 an
hour.

That works out to $122.22 per hour at what, 500 knots?

$523.81/hour/seat each way.

Regardless, it seems this story has been made to be larger than it really
is. The Speaker is second in line to succeed the President and is entitled
to more security than most other public servants. While the use of the C-32
was apparently an option, it appears she didn't specifically request it, but
rather a plane with transcontinental range.
