Life looks better through the window of a private plane, but I know what your thinking. You hear “private plane” and you see big dollar signs. Well BlackJet has changed the game, sitting at the intersection of private aviation and commercial airlines.
Introducing BlackJet, a luxury booking service offering private transport at a cost rivaling a first class commercial airline ticket. Normally chartering a cross country private plane would put you back anywhere from $25,000 – $35,000 dollars each way. BlackJet which is similar to Uber works like this: Become a member, pay an annual fee of $2,500.00 and book flights through their website or mobile app. A one way between Los Angeles (Van Nuys) and New York (Teterboro) runs about $3,500.00. Instead of booking the whole plane, BlackJet clients reserve an individual seat, which is 100% guaranteed, even if you’re the only passenger on board. Cancellations are allowed up to 3 days prior to departure at no cost.
