You are right, once you get spoiled by flying privately you will never want to fly commercial again. No security, they know your name when you get to the FBO, rental car is a few feet from the plane ready to go. Not to mention you leave whenever you are ready with no need to get there early :smile:. It's definitely something I would pay for if I had the income. My company has a private jet and I have the luxury of being able to fly on it on occasion.

Vlad and I were watching a show recently, Top Gear I believe, that spoke about an SUV vs a Prius and which was more environmentally friendly. Between all of the places the Prius parts/engine/etc had to be shipped to make it, it turned out being much worse for the environment compared to a US made SUV (sold to someone in the US). I found it really interesting. But again, I do see your point! Still, I would love to travel this way... at least once :wink: No problem Earth, I see your point.

It's akin to commuting by yourself in a 9MPG "luxury" SUV instead of spending all that money on a hybrid car or (gasp!) taking public transportation, which is essentially what commercial airlines are. Sorry to rain on your parade Megs, and I know these companies will just raise their prices to compensate for the price of fuel instead of developing cleaner, greener technology, but I felt this should be mentioned amidst the glowing free press for this airline.
