Jet-set Lifestyle for Hire
Once the preserve of CEOs, heads of state and inbred Eurotrash, with absolute comfort, complete courtesy, and flights whenever you want, the humble private jet is everything that Generic Air isn't. And of course it's entirely, well, private. For when you need your, you know, 'privacy'.
Money may not be able to buy happiness, but it sure can buy everything else. And that is precisely why we fancy a wee piece of the action.
Sure, if you decide at the end of a night at Zeta's new club, Whisky Mist, that the party's not done, then they'll jet you out to Ibiza for £50k, or whisk you to Monaco's Metropole with an Aston Martin and casino passes ready and waiting for £12k.
But like our beloved Classic Car Club in the air, the Private Jet Club now offers hope to we less fortunate with what is essentially a 'chartered jet pool'.
At a grand or two to Paris, and around ten to New York, it's hardly peanuts, but nor is it the £120k that you'd need to fly solo, and since it's shared, you might want to put a hold on the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. But it's a private jet baby!
