having a private jet is likely not "economical" unless you fly a lot. but it's still a better experience than flying first class in almost every way. the biggest advantage is that you set the schedule yourself. some routes only have one or two non-stop flights per day. now you have a non-stop flight whenever you want. combined with the fact that you no longer have to show up early to make sure you have time for security (now you never go through security at all, and if you're late the plane waits for you), this is a huge time saver. you can also have much better accommodations on your own plane. better alcohol, food you actually want to eat, even more comfortable seats, etc. you can guarantee that a child will never scream in your ear or kick the back of your seat. comparing a private jet to first class is honestly ridiculous, the experiences are leagues apart. i would fly privately if i could remotely afford it. the real question is what advantage is there to owning a plane versus simply chartering them on demand. i assume it just comes down to frequency of travel.
