| Subject: Via ANCAPS: Hate the hassle of airports? Try a private jet Fri Sep 02, 2011 3:54 am | |
| For Phillip Swan, forgoing the headaches of flying with commercial airlines in the US was worth $US146,000 ($A136,000) for 25 hours of flight time on a private jet.
“We were just sick and tired of dealing with long lines and problems with privacy going through regular security at airports,” said Swan, chief executive officer of a Bellevue, company based in Washington in the US that makes disposable charcoal EZ Grills.
Now Swan, 48, skips the lines and hops aboard a private aircraft with leather seats and grilled beef tenderloin meals. Instead of buying the plane, Swan opted for a jet card, which gives him access to an 8-person Learjet for 25 hours over 275 days.
