You know what Noel, that $1,000.00 flight on the private jet is basically the same price as commercial flight business class anyway. You got better service and were treated as a person and not cargo. So definitely worth it. I have a close mate who's a geologist for 16 years and was contracted with ConocoPhillips in Jakarta, Indonesia, and flew on their private jets and choppers where ever he went on business. He was totally spoiled. Anyhow, Noel is a great video that keeps flying high and with a smile 😊

[@GJenks15]

Aero is not a private jet. If you are not paying by the hour or sharing with other strangers, it’s not private.

[@jonathanscott550]

​@GJenks15 I realize that Noel mentioned that. He Also mention the jet once belonged to ConocoPhillips.

[@vitalmincie]

only about 1/3rd more than a comparable domestic "first class" seat on UAL

[@josephchristianson3001]

When I was about 10, I was invited up to the cockpit of a commercial domestic flight. They showed me around, made me feel welcome, and I was even allowed to "pilot" the commercial flight (I'm guessing it was on auto-pilot, or the second pilot was prepared to take over) -probably one of the most memorable times of my childhood! Since 911, that doesn't happen much, but the open cockpit style still exists in private jets and limited small-scale domestic flights.

[@SophieJackson1993]

I remember this too during a flight to Florida because I won a plane drawing competition they held on board to entertain the kids haha. Thankful for the experience because it was pre 9/11.

[@appleintosh]

My best flying memory was in 2005 flying LAX-AMS on a KLM 747. I was a little kid back then, and we were flying to visit family in the Netherlands. It turned out that my mom's cousin was a flight attendant on our flight, and his wife was one of the pilots. They invited me into the cockpit and I got to look at a 747 cockpit in flight, after 9/11. There's definitely not a lot of other people out there who experienced something like this.

[@dansanger5340]

Me, too. But I still don't understand why the pilot kept asking me about gladiator movies.

[@GJenks15]

King Airs are consistently 1000. A much more comfortable plane than Lears, CJs, and hawkers. Would be a good option as well

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

How many passengers did they take to Love Field before Noel boarded, and from Aspen (Rifle) afterwards? It has to average out to a profit, of course. There could be a reason to fly three people rather than zero people if the craft had to be transferred anyhow.

[@kevinrhodes335]

It's no different than the airlines. Some flights are full, some are empty. I have had a couple flights over the years where I was the *only* passenger - and once I was one of 11 on a transatlantic BA 747. The airplane and crew still need to go, and chances are there will be more passengers heading back the other way.

[@liz8343]

[@aneel4932]

The shuttle bus up to Aspen was a bit of a step up from your last bus trip...

[@graciekinnaman849]

The vibe I'm getting from this airline is very rich parents just told their children that they're not taking a private jet this time to save money. Also, this plane seems to be focused on vacation trips because Aspen and Cabo are major spring break locations, so I have a feeling that you were not flying with them during their busy season.

[@joannharrington2279]

I could get use to flying on a jet like that one. Talk about no hassle or rush. Having the bus meet the jet to finish your destination was the best. Maybe flying jets like this for domestic travel is the way to go. Safe travels.

[@itsnotme07]

Sure, that's wicked expensive, but DAL to ASE is usually $300-500 ea way on "regular" airlines. And if you usually fly private and are going to their destinations, Aero is VERY cheap. I don't have any reasons currently to fly where they do, but being in Dallas, it's more an option for me than others. Cool ride Noel! And yeah, the lack of TSA groping....bonus!

[@dannydaw59]

It was $1000 one way. I wonder if it would have been $2000 for a round trip.

[@Wolverines77]

I am thinking they fully book that Love Field to Aspen flight every flight up and back during ski season. It seems a lifetime ago (actually about 45 years) when I visited Aspen when dad was stationed at Lowery AFB in Denver. Maybe my memories of it are of Vail or other ski resorts further east towards Denver, but it looks very high-desert in comparison to world-class ski resort. Thank you for sharing with this aging, disabled man. One of my very first posters I remember buying for myself was from the Flughafen in Frankfurt. It had about 40 or so different airlines (every single one that flew into and out of Frankfurt at that time in the early 70's, sans the Air Force contract flights using the two gate terminal on the U.S. Air Base side). I was fortunate enough to cross the north Atlantic 10 times and criss-cross the U.S. (including flying to St. Paul Island in the Pribiloffs from Anchoarage) about 30 or so times. Keep up the great work, my friend. It is refreshing to see your new video every Sunday morning at the top of my YT feed instead of the constant din of the modern world... To use the proper British saying, Happy Christmas to you and your family, Noel❤

We wonder why flying has become no different from a stroll through the fish market - well this is what happens when flights are cheaper than bus tickets, you attract all the riff-raffs who were never taught how to behave in civilized society.

I'm hoping one day they will make something like a cheap Business Class. All I care when I travel is the business seat. If there was a cheaper fare where all they give you is the seat and no food and no lounge I would love it. Call it Business EASY class or Business Simple. They already do for last minutes business upgrades on Emirates or Qatar. You get the seat and food of course but no lounge access. Now, strip away the food also from me and sell me a 1,200USD return and I will get the Business Class seat

[@yaziyo]

Unfortunately I think you'll find the only expensive thing about a business class ticket from the airline's perspective is the seat. A bit of better food and being let into the lounge doesn't really move the needle much in terms of what you cost them to be there.

[@MrJimheeren]

Dude you do realize the space is reason why you pay so much money for your seat. Not the amenities. A bottle of champagne cost a big airline like Emirates less then 20$. The food probably even less. You pay for the privilege and the space. That’s why they can give you an update for free if the flight is overbooked. That’s a lot cheaper for the airline then giving a economy class passenger a new ticket and a couple of hundred dollars

[@Harmonikdiskorde]
