There is no question that flying private is significantly more convenient than taking a commercial flight, and private flights boast a wealth of comfort options that are just not possible when flying commercial.

The benefits of flying private come at a cost however — private jet flights can be up to 100 times as expensive as a commercial ticket. Commercial airlines are able to spread the cost of operating a plane across all of the passengers on a flight. Private jets have far fewer passengers to shoulder the cost, hence the significantly higher price tag.
