Why Private Aviation?

Short answer simply put: Private aviation is by far the greatest luxury this world has
to offer to someone who needs to travel. To command your own time machine is
incredibly powerful and fulfilling. High-speed travel where you want, when you
want and with whom you want is the crown jewel of financial success. Trying to put
a price on this incredible power is not easy.

When you have had enough of long waits, limited destinations, humiliating security
checks, trapped in a tight container with people and animals you don’t know or like
and being kept there against your will if there are delays. The next step is to learn of
your options for private travel and jump in.
A friend, that is a private jet flyer for over 20 years would, if necessary, give
up his yacht, his exotic car collection, a few of his many houses, but; never his jet.
What is the investment? The cost of not traveling private is the more important question.
You have a 1 hour drive to the airport that is not closest to where you live. Then, 2 hours
before departure waiting for security and boarding. On arrival, there are 30 minutes of waiting to deplane, plus 30 minutes waiting for luggage. That is a minimum of 4 hours wasted and lost. What is 4 hours minimum lost time worth to you? Missing your child’s first home run, being late for the birthday party. The first recital?
UPDATE: I wrote this just before the Covid pandemic struck. Private jet travel is
more valuable than ever when you consider the health benefits.
