Private jet

Run for President?

The jury is out on whether the UKs Foreign Secretary needs one to conduct successful Brexit negotiations, but maybe have that as a back up plan?

You'll probably need an unhealthily large amount of money, whatever route you choose.

Oh c'mon, Melania! Traveling with your husband and his co-workers on Air Force One can't be that bad!

Rob a bank or win the lottery. One's illegal, the other's not - both are most unlikely. Just have to grin and bear it (or self medicate).

Karen,

You could perhaps look at a "shared" jet service......

Private Jet?? Let's think big and invent one of those Star Trek transporter beam thingies.

Or I could become a televangelist.

hey karen
get an aeronautical engineering degree, a job with boeing, develop and construct your own tube and fly high.
aloha

Karen,

Another suggestion..... perhaps if you ask nicely, Elon Musk will build one of these from North America to Europe - https://www.pocket-lint.com/gadgets/news/132405-what-is-hyperloop-subsonic-hyperloop-train-technology-explained .

$54 million for a private jet! Yikes! I'm pretty sure that Televangelist is trying to pull a fast one on his followers. Everybody knows you can get a decent one for $34 mil!

The smallest jet capable of transatlantic flight is available for about $7500-10000 per flight hour.

Or, you could fly business class from NY to London for about $3500 round trip.

Or, you could learn the secrets of accruing frequent flyer miles and using them to fly in business or first class. (And no, you don't have to fly a lot.)

I use miles to fly across the pond. I try to fly on BA 747's and sit in the upper deck. There are only 20 seats. It's like flying privately. At the airport it's separate check in, separate security and lounge access. All included.

And I'm not rich.Just willing to think outside the box.

Ok, Frank II, please tell us the secrets of accruing those miles! 😉

God spoke to me and wants me to have a jet, make it so. #ModernEvangelism #MegaChurch4theWin

The biggest advantage of having a private jet is being able to not only afford one, but also be able to deduct the cost as a "business expense", thus providing a break on income taxes. For most of us, the best alternative is business class.

Of course, there are run-of-the-mill private jets, and then there are REAL private jets - https://www.kelownanow.com/watercooler/news/news/Kelowna/BOEING_747SP_at_YLW_buyer_of_the_largest_passenger_plane_to_land_in_Kelowna_revealed/ . This one would probably cause that Preacher mentioned earlier to start salivating!

Just buy all the seats on the smallest plane going to your destination.... pretty sure its less than 34-54 million bucks

Think modern: Virtual Reality Headset with an “Alone in the plane” environment?

Does God come in on that headset? That "long tube with a bunch of demons" was an actual quote from Kenneth Copeland, mega preacher, on why he needs a private jet. The better to teach the gospel, of course.

In the case of Kenneth Copeland it will and he gets a message with hints how to spend the donations from his followers to charity…. :)

Or, you could order some of that 'miracle' water being hawked on TV these days by Peter Popoff. Maybe, just maybe, your miracle will be that private jet.:-)

Priscilla - here is one link to help you get started. There are other points/miles gurus as well.

In the last 5 years using miles, I have flown 2 people in Business class to Europe three times. Also flew 4 people to Europe one time and flew 2 people to Australia in business class another.

I always thought a place filled with demons would be where a true preacher who really believes what he is preaching would want to be, not isolated from it.

JUST ran into that news piece....
You're killin me' Karen!

Mark, right on!!

Excellent start off Karen, and boy have everyone's responses given me a big smile this morning!!! Love this group and everyone's sense of humor!!!

Keep "praying" and make sure you announce these "prayers" all over social media. That means more than the RS forum.

Some benefits of air charter:

...it may surprise you to know that while generally a private charter
flight will cost more than a first-class commercial flight, private
charter can actually be remarkably economic -- particularly if you are
flying a small group or flying to a remote location.

Unlike commercial airlines, there are
no baggage limits per se. You can bring whatever luggage will fit on
the plane.

Family pets? If you’re travelling domestically, you can bring your
pets along for the ride! Just be sure to notify your flight planner
ahead to ensure a pet friendly aircraft. Internationally, pets are
also welcome guests - you'll simply have to follow the usual standards
according to the country of destination

It will be interesting to see if the "faithful flock" donate the $54 million to save their guru from "demons". I can't believe that anyone would fall for this rubbish.

I'm pretty sure that Televangelist is trying to pull a fast one on his followers.

Wouldn't be the first one.

Charlatans have always existed, since it was first discovered that one person could take another's belongings by guile and smooth talking. But we sure do have a certain type here. Must be the combination of religious fervor, personal and commercial excess, and good dental care. (Gotta have that big white smile!)

I'm actually thinking of phoning for the miracle water, I have a spot in my back yard where nothing grows (yes, I've tried Miracle Gro, the formula has never been the same since James Whitmore popped his clogs).

As per their tax returns, the prosperous prophets set aside a fair amount of their budget for hair dye, which is a legal write-off (I believe they use dear, old Ronnie's supplier). What they should do, instead, is all chip in to buy a decent hair piece for Ernest Angley, or help Jimmy Swaggart with his organ lessons and dating issues.
