How the rich fly

My job requires that I fly around the world a couple of times every year. Some times the flight is just to a nearby city and the time I spent at the airport is longer than the time I spend in the plane flying. Other times, I have to fly as far away as Australia and as such I may spent anywhere from 15 to 20 hours inside the plane. As you might have guessed, flying economy in the latter case is a very unpleasant experience. Certainly, the business class is a far more desirable way for flying across the world but good luck convincing your employer that it is a justifiable cost.

That said, have you ever wondered how those better off actually fly? Those who make 150K plus are likely to be the people flying first class in the same plane that you are in economy. The truly wealthy such as Oprah, and Playboy legend Hugh Hefner either own their own private jet or utilize a jet charter service. The best way to fly if you don’t want to spend your fortune keeping a plane service when you only need it a few times a year is to hire a jet on a per need basis via a jet charter company. Because you don’t become wealthy by wasting your money.
