Fractional ownership of private jet?
Flying first class is not what it used to be is it? Sure one gets fast check in but having to stand in a long security queue with oiks is a bore. Add to that crusties at Heathrow almost causing me to miss my flight to Bora Bora last week and the poor quality of bubbly on the flight and I've just about had enough!
Anybody have any info on the cost for fractional ownership of a private jet? Nothing too flash mind, just needs to do the job.

You'd be better off getting back to counting all you money then asking us how to spend it all

The time you save at check in will be lost on a flight of any length with the lower flying speeds of private jets anyway, unless you're going to buy a share in a proper one

I personally find the smaller jets to be a little too cramped for mid to long haul and much prefer to fly on a BBJ now.

I like the upper deck on BA 747s in business class
Feels more like a private jet - just 20 passengers, 2 crew just for the upper deck and very small and quiet. Well away from the riff raff downstairs and near the back with the chickens.
Preferable to First class in the nose of the 747 in many ways (although not all!)
Private jets are rather slow in comparison anyway aren't they?

i personally like booking last min, knowing that some fool paid over 3 times what you have, to go to the same place at the same time is priceless.
If you have that kind of cash why be bothered about the time it takes? why be bothered about misssing one flight and why post on here........?
a subaru owners forum, I know the next best thing to a scoob is a jet but seriously. How many people on here are going to know the costs of partial ownership of a jet?
If I were you I would spend some of your weath on a financial advisor, they can advise you save asking us how to invest your cash....costs of buying a share in a jet.... costs of going to the moon for a weekend trip....best place to buy an island....
like someone said, live a little!

It was a joke mate. I've never ever flown first class and am not looking to acquire a jet aircraft. I've also not really asked HOW to INVEST, simply the best interest rate which is not quite the same thing.
And btw, I live life to the full

I really do not mean this as any offence to anybody.I just c'ant understand why anybody would want to go to a Ball where the common factor is the brand of car you own.I barely have enough time to spend with 'real' friends ie those I went to School/Uni/Work with and have known for years let alone those that just happen to own the same car as me.Seems a little sad.D'ont these people have any proper friends?
As for the photos of the people who attended I w'ont even go there for fear of being lynched.

I use a hot air balloon for my global travel. I just arrange my meetings for places which are in the direction that the wind is blowing.

Not sure what you're referring to Olly as I can't think of a bizjet that is significantly slower in the cruise than any commercial aircraft?

Are you my personal stalker then? Yes I was thinking about learning to fly but quite a few people put me off due to weather and hence aborted flights in this country. Whats that got to do with anything anway, everybody who has a pilots license also owns a jet right?
What 'us' do you refer to in the second part of your statement. Are you a fully paid up member of the Scoobynet community then?
Your comments go from the sublime to the ridiculous. You can dress it up how you like but there is only one issue you really have with me and its obvious. The fact that you've gome back and searched through posts of mine dating back 3 years I think speaks volumes about you. Sad really, you have my pity though

You don't need to buy, often you can rent by the hour for slightly more than the cost of Virgin Business or similar.
The savings really come into play if for example you need to fly 5/6 people out to Europe 1st class. You can rent a Bombardier with crew for less than 1st with BA usually...
If you travel from Farnborough you can be airborne 20mins after arriving, as long as you and the crew are ready, it's off you go.
As far as BA and Virgin business class vs private goes, there are a few small differences. For example, last minute changes to the flight plan, or sitting up front on a sheduled 747 might get tricky...

Err, you did see the bit where I said it was a joke right?
I have actually spent quite alot of time in a Lear Jet, working though, as part of an aeromedical repatriation team. The whole thing was kitted out like an ICU. Biggest problem was the height/headroom, I had to work for hours hunched over.
Got a fantastic insight into how things work ie flightplans especially when we flew to India and needed to refuel every 3-4 hours! Quite funny, the pilot used to pay for the juice with a credit card which I found amusing.

What a witty comment.
You're a sad little man that has nothing better to do than dig out my posts from 3-4 years ago. Am I that important to you?
I have no idea who you are or anything about you, prior to this 'incident' I wouldn't have been able to recount one comment you've ever made. You for some reason remember things I've said 4 years ago, personally I find that CREEEEPY
People are on here all the time asking about money related topics (inc two in this forum right now asking about mortgages) yet you wait until I ask a simple question about savings accounts to launch into some tirade that makes little sense.
Have you nothing better to do with your time? I think you're bitter about something, I hope you come to terms with whatever it is, you'll be happier for it.
