Fly private (for cheap!) with the Jetsuite

For those of you that are tired of long lines at security, baggage fees and the everyday melee that comes along with flying commercial, a new solution may now be on the table for you. Jetsuite a new private jet company just began operating out of California and is actually a fairly reasonable solution to inexpensive private air service.

Jetsuite flies a fleet of Embraer Phenom 100's, a series of cute, comfy, four seater aircraft capable of landing at smaller, private airports like Van Nuys, and cruising at speeds of up to 722km/hr (whereas a typical 737 cruises at 780km/hr).

There are a variety of pricing options for the service, from the SuiteKey, where users deposit at least $25,000 to use on an ad-hoc basis, to pay-as-you go pricing, where journeys start at $999 (one way) for short-haul routes. Divide that by four and that's not an outrageous price per person.

We'll let you know once the Gadling team gets onboard for a flight check.
