Fed up with cheap flights? How about a private jet
Having just returned from being very squashed in on a no frills flight back from Amsterdam, I’ll have to say that the idea of flying in a private jet is starting to sound quite appealing.
We’ve had a few phone calls in the past, asking about if we could offer, or advise on how to charter a plane, and we’ve never been able to help much. Now I’ve found out about a US-based company, Elite Jets, which offers on online booking service for private jet flights.
It doesn’t give much guidance about typical prices, or whether their focus is just on the US, but I’ll try and get more details on this later.
They also have an excellent service of selling empty seats on “dead leg” flights, where an aircraft has been chartered in one direction, and needs to position itself elsewhere. So before I get totally lynched by the ecopuritans, I think it is worth pointing out that this has to be a very environmentally efficient way of acquiring luxury flights.
