| Jet-set
Lifestyle for Hire |
 |
 |
Once
the preserve of CEOs, heads of state
and inbred Eurotrash, with absolute
comfort, complete courtesy, and flights
whenever you want, the humble private
jet is everything that Generic Air
isn't. And of course it's
entirely, well, private. For when
you need your, you know, 'privacy'.

Money
may not be able to buy happiness, but it
sure can buy everything else. And that is
precisely why we fancy a wee piece of the
action.
Sure, if you decide at the end of a night
at Zeta's new club, Whisky
Mist, that the party's not done,
then they'll jet you out to Ibiza
for £50k, or whisk you to Monaco's
Metropole with an Aston Martin and casino
passes ready and waiting for £12k.
But like our beloved Classic
Car Club in the air, the
Private Jet Club now offers hope to
we less fortunate with what is essentially
a 'chartered jet pool'. |
|
At
a grand or two to Paris, and around
ten to New York, it's hardly
peanuts, but nor is it the £120k
that you'd need to fly solo,
and since it's shared, you might
want to put a hold on the sex, drugs
and rock 'n' roll. But
it's a private jet baby!
