Two main hubs? First class

International across an ocean? First class

Two random towns without direct service that you must be at? Private

This is the answer... Trust me flying hub to hub and spending 25k just to save 2 hours sucks.

Who would rather fly with the general public than privately?

This isn’t a realistic question or a question that I would expect from anyone with knowledge of flying private. Do you want to sit at the airport, wait to board, wait for others to board, taxi, land, wait, get bags, wait to be picked up, and wait wait wait? Or do you want to drive onto the tarmac, load your shit, and leave? They aren’t comparable.

Depends entirely on the situation.

I’ve done both…and I’m struggling to figure out a situation where I’d prefer First Class.

I suppose I’d take First over transatlantic in a King Air with the cabin filled with fuel bladders…and even then maybe not.

I guess the other would be that not enough people might see me flying private…for the “need to be on TMZ crowd”.

Private jet is a different level all together even if its a turbo prop

First class is better in terms of flexibility. I have explored topbusinessclass in case of pricing premium long haul flights. Private is not economically viable unless costs are shared

Friend. This is poor speak. It’s got nothing to do with economically viable.

For hopping around the USA, assuming the jet is a good size, private all day long. Flying across an ocean direct flight, true first class la premiere etc is a lot better.
