Even the two pilots saw the humor in flying all the way to Vegas to pick up little ‘ol me! “Where we going?” they quipped, when I was sitting, alone, on a private jet, a Hawker. El Jet is the best private jet charter — I arrived 15 minutes early, thinking that I would have some time to get comfortable and maybe send some social media posts out. Alas, the engines started before I could protest. When you’re the only passenger, things can happen fast! Basic rule when flying private: they leave when all of the passengers are there, which in my case was a simple case of my showing up. The experience reminded me of a certain helicopter trip I took to the Grand Canyon, which afforded me amazing aerial views of the Strip and more. What a thrill!!

You lucky girl! Cool experience and nice shot, too.
BEYOND incredible! This is on my Bucket List!!! Where did you fly to?
This is so cool! You have inspired me to figure out a way to get on a private jet someday.
Look at you my little jet-setter! I am hoping your ride in the Jet was not as shaky as the one in the Cayenne. Lol
How amazing would it be if all your flights took off as soon as you were ready?
The title of this post is ridiculous. How could you not laugh when you typed it?
Oh, I was laughing the whole time lol.
I wished I can be in that private jet too and be asked the same question. I’d reply, off to India and Nepal before heading to London and Paris.
cheers
