PrivateFly: Coast to Coast for Under $30k

Cross-country flights get a summer discount for those who prefer to fly the private way

PrivateFly is running a summer Cross Country promotion, offering flights from Los Angeles and San Francisco to New York for $29,000, a 30% savings.

This deal allows travelers to test drive the Challenger 300, a super-midsize private jet that delivers state-of-the-art amenities such as in-flight baggage access, touch-screen-controlled audio and video and spacious seating for up to eight travelers. With a cruising speed of 528 mph and cruising altitude of 45,000 feet, jet setters can make it from NY to SF/LA in 5.5 hours, saving 30 minutes and countless hours waiting in security lines and airport terminals.

“As part of Directional Aviation, PrivateFly is now increasingly focused on providing private jet charter clients with innovative, exclusive deals that they can’t find elsewhere. By committing to aircraft hours in advance on specific routes that are operationally efficient for us, PrivateFly can fix prices at lower-than-usual rates – and guarantee to keep them that way,” said PrivateFly CEO Adam Twidell.

Travelers can choose from any of the routes, in any direction at any time now through the end of September 2019.
