Putting Luxury into Flying

25GETAWAY1-articleLarge-v2

When we hear the mention of the word ‘airport’, two things immediately pop into our minds. Firstly, travel! Secondly, we begin to mentally prepare for the dreaded time suck of security, the inevitable screaming children we’ll be placed next to, and the two whole inches of leg room we get to ‘stretch out’ in.

In this article, , the author, Stephanie Rosenbloom, gets the luxury of experiencing a flight on a private jet. She goes on to tell us about all of the new services opening up to allow one to rent a seat, or even an entire jet, for a reasonable amount of money.Just think, all you to pay is as little as $2,500 a year to become a member, and then shell out thousands after that!

But as the owner of one company, BlackJet, tells the author, they’re aiming for a specific clientele, “the mass affluent as opposed to the 1 percent of the population.” So hey, all of us regular folks won’t be getting this experience anytime soon, but maybe we’ll be more likely to get bumped up to first class?
