I saw a TV ad for this on CNBC yesterday so I checked it out online.
It's a website where you can book a jet. The TV ad made it seem pretty attractive so I was really curious. Small jets don't usually fly into the main airport in most cities, so you have to search for the airport in the city that you want to go to. I regularly fly back and forth from Nashville to Tampa so I found the two airports that service those areas. Put in some dates and hit enter. It gave me several choices of jets that were willing to make that trip. Would show a picture of the plane and a brief description. The cost ranges for these choices were from $10,000 to $14,000 each way.
WOW ! Who can afford that ? Have any of you ever done this ? I wonder if you can contact the pilot directly and negotiate that price.

No but I have flown on net jets a few times, and have a friend with a jet share that’s similar to a timeshare but way more expensive.
The mystery is solved. CNBC's viewer has been revealed.
I have flown on private jets a few times but I wasn't paying for it.
^ Did your celebrity status get it comped?
^ I blame it on the lasagna;)
Warrior,
For grins I decided to try a trip I was once planning. I had looked around for a local pilot to do the trip, but no luck. Anyway it was a short in state roundtrip flight from a small airport south of Miami to Gainesville Florida. The prices ranged from a low of just over $14,000 up to just over $153,000.
For the last figure, might be cheaper to get a pilot license, buy a plane, fly yourself, then sell the plane! :)
To expensive for me
Seems like something for the 1% or less
