Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Uber-style private airplane trips are here – and flights cost from $111
If you want to fly in a private airplane, you’ll get an estimate from a
broker to book an aircraft. You then pay in advance for the flight. Once you
finish your trip, you might be billed if extra fuel was consumed during the
flight. Even though the total cost of the flight can be divided by the number
of passengers, you are most likely to be paying more than the first-class airfares
of commercial airlines. In the meantime, you do not have to wait in a long
line for check-in and boarding or wait for your baggage after arrival. Also,
you can enjoy the luxury of flying by yourself or only with your company. Some
websites are already making such on-demand private air travel available and affordable
to the public. Also, a new service is being launched this month to offer a
private aircraft bargain that could be about the same as or even cheaper than
commercial flights. How could that be possible? The new app will show bargain
seats on empty-leg flights, where the aircraft fly to pick up the next passengers
with empty seats. Even though such deals are going to be short-noticed, some last-minute
flyers might find a lucky deal, instead of paying a full fare to commercial
airlines. Will airlines offer some empty seats on the app in the
future?
Enjoy reading the article and learning about this new matching app for
air travelers.
