Eh, if you can afford a private jet you can more than afford last minute first class flights anywhere. The rich have plenty of other less destructive luxuries at their disposal, I have a hard time feeling sorry for them if they can’t fly their private jet whenever and wherever they like. It’s time we start treating the wealthy like normal people instead of allowing them to exert their power and privilege to our demise
Not saying this to shill for private jet owners, but to shed some light on this. A big part of why private jets are preferable is that passengers can drive up to the plane and just take off immediately. No check ins, no security, no wait times, no boarding times.
Banning private jets isn’t easy to do. A more practical solution might be to eliminate security theater, cut down boarding times, end overbooking, and heavily tax private jets.
If the outcome we want is a reduced carbon footprint, we need to focus on things that are actionable, and getting private jets banned is unlikely to happen.
