    The worst part of that in my mind is that it doesn’t even sound pleasant to hop a jet for your commute. Right? Like imagine driving to the airport and doing that instead.

      The airports the rich use for private flights are not the same airports you and i use for travel.

      They roll up to the airport, drop their bags through a much more specialized scanner, walk through a basic metal detector, and board their flight.

      And, depending on the airport, they may not even need to go through security like that and can literally just drive right up to the stairs leading to their private jet.

        Ugh. Still doesn’t sound better than just sitting in the back seat while somebody else drives.

        Edit: especially if it’s going to be a long trip, seriously do you people not have games on your phones?

          You don’t need it, not sure what that guy is saying. I’ve flown small planes all growing up, and you don’t have to talk to anybody.

          Edit: Even large airports have a GA area with no TSA. There are FBOs with fuel services and stuff, but it’s just a completely different thing.

        They also believe they are more important and their time is more valuable than the rest of us
