If owning your own PJ (private jet) isn't part of your budget right now (or if you simply don't have the room for a private hanger,) don't despair. Much like a time share, or a "shared property," FlexJet offers a "fractional jet ownership." You get to choose what type of jet you would like to use for each trip that you take, making it simple if it's a shopping trip with just you and one girlfriend, or if it's a larger party that needs accomodating. The choices include a Bombardier Learjet40XR, Bombardier Learjet 45XR, Bombardier Learjet 60, Bombardier Challenger 300, or a Bombardier Challenger 604. If you're undecided on which PJ to take, you can take a photo tour of each one on the FlexJet website.
According to Bob Knebel, Vice President of Sales for FlexJet, "Flexjet owners can schedule up to five jets on a single day, which comes in handy for special events and meetings. The company's Versatility Plus program allows owners to pool their unused hours, so if you need extra hours you can buy some, and if you have hours to spare you can get money back. And the company recently offered owners 15 percent off on round trips of one to two days. "This program was developed as a response to owner feedback for more affordable short-haul travel, and can save travelers thousands of dollars on each trip."
And because you're being practical and saving money on not buying a PJ, you can splurge a little on a gorgeous Frette Merino Wool and Cashmere "Jet Set Throw/Cushion Set" $395. (above)
