Yes, I understand -- just saying that you can mitigate it enough that you don't need a private plane. If you fly Virgin upper class, for instance, you get pretty much what you describe. A car will pick you up and deliver you behind all the typical airport security with your boarding documents.
- mattzito 13y agoRight, but - Virgin upper class if you're flying out of NYC, for example, can get you to....the UK. And a limited number of times a day. Private planes are absolutely awesome for getting between inconvenient points domestically. Have to get from San Jose to Austin on short notice? A quick skim of ITA shows coach fares of $1k and they all require a stop somewhere, with an average duration of 7-ish hours. Or, hop on a private jet, skip security, take off pretty much whenever you're ready to take off, nad then come back when you want it.
