If you enjoy Uber's black-car service and want the experience the same level of luxury when travelling longer distances, BlackJet may be just the thing for you and your deep pockets. Led by Uber co-founder Garrett Camp, BlackJet lets travellers book flights on other people's private planes in order to avoid crowded airport terminals and slow-moving security checkpoints. According to AllThingsD , membership for the exclusive service is "a couple thousand dollars," with flights ranging from $950 to $3,500 for each trip. In comparison, a one-way, first class flight from Los Angeles to New York with Virgin America costs around $1,700, and Camp claims that coast-to-coast trips on a private plane can set you back $20,000.
BlackJet may be out...
