Johnman,
Government airplanes, Air Force 1, Marine 1, etc., have their own set of rules, especially when carrying the President and his cronies. Basically, they do whatever they want! Off airway direct navigation, priority handling,etc. Remember Clintons' haircut holdup at LAX a few years ago?
When Hillary Clinton was visiting New York regularly looking for votes, traffic, especially GA, was turned away from LaGuardia to make sure she was not delayed.
I presume the Euro Kings operate the same!
