Marquis Jet: Net Jets 25 Hours at a Time

The Marquis Jet Card program provides access to NetJets for 25-hours of flight time and it’s simple to purchase and easy to use. Marquis Jet Card pricing begins at $135,900 plus government imposed fees and taxes for 25 hours on a NetJets Citation V Ultra.

wow :S i heard prices lowered, but this is quite a lot... used to be $175k not too long ago

regarding AM.... i don't think anyone here has a direct need for this, quite honestly. private jets are high decision, direct-impact physical business utilities and i just don't think most affiliates' cyber bedroom industries fall under this category [not flaming]

most affiliates travel for pre-planned business expenditures, vacations/visits or even just 'because they can' -- all's good. and for that purpose, commercial B/F provides perfect accommodation. not to mention creditcard programs where an affiliate can buy tickets with points directly. essentially making the whole thing free of charge!

btw- take a careful 1:1 look at commercial First and standard private such as NetJets25 and in 9/10 cases you'd find commercial First amenities and service beats a private flight hands down. at the top range, private begins taking over but at that level the costs are just...........downright bizarre [think 15k+ one-way].

the only reason i'd still like a small jet of *my own*, like a €900k Eclipse 500 or similar, is because in quick-decision critical industries, they provide direct hand upper advantages over competitors. think situations where a Frankfurt banker receives intel at 10:00 that EUR:GBP stands 1:0.95+ [this happened several times last year] and he could bank a 100k profit if he physically flew over to purchase a product in London [40min flight] and came back before lunch was even finished in Frankfurt at 13:00!

those sort of cut-throat competitive advantages warrant a private jet, in my opinion :)
 
After my shitty vegas flight I think im going to start flying private from now on. Although I plan to pay on a per flight basis(10-15kish)

If anyone wants to go halfies/fourthies lemme know :)
 
@will there is a whole industrial community on jet owners who 'taxi around' more or less total strangers at a few k per seat :>

also quite some recent speculation on jet owners sniffing onboard phone/wifi since the majority of co-seaters will be businesspeople anyway........... :>

speaking for myself, what i hate about the commercial experience is the airports.. from curb to tarmac, not the inside of the plane. though $25-50k r/t isn't really worth it for me especially as i usually travel alone or with my wife, so no one to split that cost with.

maybe if i was this guy i'd feel differently..

always use ssl, if ssl isn't available for what you're doing you can use an ssh tunnel to establish encryption. don't ignore certificate/host key warnings and you're fine, no matter what they are trying to do.

as for phones, if you mean your cell phone.. that's a risk anywhere, from cloning to gsm scanning or cdma tricks
 
I have one, its great for short flights. I use it to fly from southern cali to vegas and san fran. Fuel is not included in that price and will run you a hundred$$ per hour. If you want more info you can contact my sales rep "Greer, Stephanie" Sgreer@marquisjet.com
 
Given the fact that smaller planes have obviously even more bumpy rides, I'd take commercial First over private and overpriced. Specially when looking at real F Cabins (Singapore airlines, Emirates, Jet Airways, Swiss), not most US carrier's F product which is basically business.

I bet Al Gore flies in one of these as he goes around trying to save the world from pollution.

Actually untrue. The smaller jets are often cleared to fly higher than commercial jets, and can have as smooth or smoother ride than the big boys. The G5 has a max operating ceiling of 51k whereas an airliner like the 737-800 is only good to 41k. (Referred to in pilot terms as FL410 or FL510)

Private ones at least. Smaller commercial jets fly at the normal altitudes, which is a bumpier ride

now tell me. how many times will you actually fly on a G5 when flying private? Obviously, unless you are chosing an intercontinental route or stacked with rebill monies. Nobody will fly a 737 when chosing intercontinental first cabins unless ur flying PrivatAir, which sucks btw. You should look for A330, 340, or 777, 747's if you really want to compare first products available on those planes to private jets.
