"Between Uber rides, time at the airport, and a commercial flight, it should have taken five hours each way. With no security lines, no arduous boarding process, no taxiing, it took about two hours, meaning the seven-month-old I'd left behind was none the wiser: I was there to kiss him goodbye before he left for day care and home in time to give him a bath."
""Luxury is being able to manipulate time," Andrew Collins, the co-CEO of Flexjet, told me, repeating a phrase that I'd hear from Flexjet employees throughout my day at HQ. "In essence, it's a time machine." Collins may be towing the party line, but data supports it. A recent survey of more than 500 private jet users conducted by Private Jet Card Comparison, a guide and advisory service, found that more than 67% of users said door-to-door time saving was the reason they flew private."
Private jet usage increased by 3.6% in the first half of this year versus last year and by 33.6% versus prepandemic levels, per WingX. Time savings are the primary motivator: more than 67% of private jet users cited door-to-door time reduction as their reason for flying privately, according to a Private Jet Card Comparison survey. Private travel removes security lines, lengthy boarding, taxiing, and connections, cutting typical five-hour journeys to roughly two hours. Faster, direct travel enables tighter family routines, same-day commitments, and preserved productivity for busy travelers.
