Been seeing this ad on ESPN for a while now and was wondering who the hell this is for? How many regular people can actually afford $20k a year?

I mean I know for the O-T this is small change but still

NICE TRY.

I bet you are the CEO of Wheels Up and just looking for free website clicks.

Not me.

I only use Netjets now. Customer service is superior and like the other poster mentioned, I’m not flying into Vail in a god damn King Air 300

These services make sense for some business purposes. I was a partner in a company in NC and we had fractional ownership in one of these for flying to DC which we did a couple of times a month. It was almost cheaper to get all of us on a charter than to buy everyone commercial tickets and the convenience made up the difference.

I charter a lot and it’s never even close to the same price as commercial unless you’re flying on shitty planes

I think most memberships tend to be corporate, but Netjets wins, if you don't have your own.

Have access to a king air and I find it very practical for beach trips sec football games etc, but also have sentient jet card for times when something bigger is needed or longer trips. Although have taken king air to Mexico hunting with 7-8 many times and been plenty comfortable
