42. Because I Flew Private Six Times....

...i used to get emails on my work email asking if i needed to book a flight.
I found out that the cost of booking a single flight (no long term lease) is between $3k and $6k per hour, depending on the size & luxurious of the plane.
For someone with hundreds of millions, that's a pittance, as a 12 hour flight each way would only be $150k for an expensive one, that flies a dozen people. Now, if they're going to be there a couple weeks, they may have to pay for deadheading each way, too. But still, 300 grand to get 12 people 7,000 miles ($25k per person) is pretty affordable for the very rich.
BTW: Best private flight story. I got a call from a law firm for a case in which is was testifying as an expert witness.
About 7pm one night, i get a call on my work phone. Lead litigator says they've changed the order of witnesses and they want me to go on first. i wasn't expecting to have to leave until the following Sunday night.
I have to be in Wilmington, DE by 8am the next morning. i tell him "How could i possibly get there?" He says they've arranged a private jet and all i have to do is call this number.
I call it and the women is very helpful. I ask her "What time is the plane leaving?" Honest to goodness, her answer was "When you get here. Call us from your car 20 minutes before you get here." I tell her i can leave in a half hour and it will take 90 minutes to drive there.
I get there, a guy takes my bags onto the plane, another guy gets in my car to park it. I get on the plane. Three minutes later, we're lifting off the runway.
I have no doubt why rich people fly this way!
