I tried the "UBER" for PRIVATE JETS!

someone get this man on a private jet 😂

@@alaynamarsden7212 Haha, I wish! I wouldn't be able to afford it though, maybe someday! :D

Downie was so excited about asking what we need to know because it's his first private flight 😊

Where trains can do the trip faster, planes should be banned. We don’t have to consume less or become more primitive, we just have to become more energy efficient and consume smarter.

But not a jet.

@@ncard00 agreed but as long as people have money, you will never be able to tell someone what to do with it.

start your sentence with the letter i, for idiot, because if you dont it seems like you telling me to love something which of course is not up to you

Downloaded the app to book a flight, and I came to the same conclusion, super unfortunate

Yeah wish that was mentioned. Maybe this was a gotcha looking ad?

@@br4nd0nh347It’s not an ad, just a “try” video

The app said US flights coming soon.

@@marilynmcphail9221 One can only hope.... Otherwise we may need to post a "Job/flight wanted" flyer at the local personal air ports.. LOL

the contract says that the operator owns any "positioning legs". they may have a newsletter you can join to be notified of deals to fly them. if you really want a round trip the same day, it can be negotiated for much less than two one-ways.
if nobody buys them, they can change what positioning flights might be flown right up to the day of travel, depending where planes need to come from or get to on that day. it's not entirely known in advance what positioning legs will be flown or sometimes even what plane you'll be on.

Your boss sounds like one bad mf lol. He has a guy who is a subordinate who can get work done and can also be around and is like..you…your coming with me. Let’s go and then boom. Love that. Sounds dope af.

This was in competition with the Beech Starship but that is out of production. The Avanti continues to be built.

What a helpful service, thanks for the tip on a new way to travel.

video would get way more hits. I could ride in avanti for 500 bucks

Ugliest plane ever built

Impressive indeed !

That’s so neat!

I live just off the glidepath for the local airport and one came in a few weeks ago. I can validate what you said! It's an awesome plane though, there are quite a few of them knocking around the sky.

Jets just what everyone calls them. All modern airliners are turbofan engines not jets just we still call them jets.

@@ruk2023-- Yeah, but really nobody calls a turboprop a jet. I agree it's splitting hairs a bit, but once you hang a prop on it I think most people don't think of it as a "jet" anymore, even though it has a turbine driving the prop.

@@MikeKobb I dunno I reckon most people would look at this thing and call it a private jet. Like cars 99% of people don’t care what kind of plane it specifically is.

This is not for the average Joe Blow. This is more for the wealthy or business owners who value their time. Business's can write this off on their taxes so that in itself makes it worthwhile.

Then the App is all but worthless in the US. I checked into flying private and when getting the info the pricest part is having to pay for the planes time to and from your destination and any down time the plane has. That's when it gets really expensive!!!

@@chefscorner7063 exactly 💯 there’s regional membership-based services that are price effective, but they only offer value if you commonly fly between a set of destinations relatively close together. For example, LAX to SFO, or LAX to LAS, SFO to SEA, etc. If you have to fly an uncommon or long flight path, it’s going to be tens of thousands per flight no matter what. I think with time we might see one of these niche services get traction and make it more accessible as a whole. There are ways to get these cheap flights, but you’re basically getting lucky lol it’s not consistent at all.

This app is useless and no different than getting a regular charter flight. The shared flights is genuinely unavailable for practically any flight here in Southwest Florida to practically anywhere. Pass… uninstalling now after checking it out for half an hour. I want my time back

Same I tried in Canada and the lowest price for a 2 hour flight was $21,000 CAD

Lucky me I’m in Canada

Yea that a bummer. I’ll wait for now. US next please.

I was wondering how they got around the us federal regulations. Until I also realized it’s only in Canada. Part 135 is unscheduled flight and 121 is scheduled flight. These operations would be normally considered 135 operations but the minute you post a scheduled flight available to the public it becomes a 121 flight which is subject to a whole different set of rules and regulations.
Cool idea for passengers but not so great for the corporate pilots that probably aren’t as much of a fan of the app. Lol.
Not sure it will ever happen in the us due to federal regulations. But maybe they will find a loop hole.

Mostly it’s on west coast. I don’t see much near Toronto

No private jets for you.

Really? Eco laundry and private jets? Are you trying to maximize absurdity?

@@ketch_up he got on the return flight tho. Pilots would have flown without him

His hair is a disaster

It’s probably too good to be true. If this somehow becomes popular, commercial jet corporations would do anything to stop it, including lobbying the government to put restrictions on its usage, and apply the same security and customs inspections to it as public flights.
Also, it’s not exactly good for the environment, and as more people do it, supply will become limited and prices will just rise significantly.

​@@JwellsuhhuhRight now, the prices are high enough you could just settle for first class on a regular flight anyways.

@@Jwellsuhhuh Tell that to Taxi drivers

@@borg_wow my region (hong kong) bans uber and made their own "uber" which is basically collaborated with uber to call their normal taxis.
And in other places in the world, taxi companies are nothing compared to the incomprehensible huge commercial aviation industry. Just like oil companies and big tech, they're going nowhere are they will do everything in their power to stay that way.
Unless those same aviation companies all happened to agree to switch to their own private/jet-pool models which would be unlikely because they're significantly less profitable

been using an app like this in the US for over half a decade

Awesome! Thank you!

Welcome aboard!

Looks like the ideal way to to fly especially shared rides are 3-400 haha

Thanks Terry!

I didn't realize New Zealand had a network of airports like the U.S. and the U.K. Good to know

Yeah though keep in mind a lot of small UK airports are RAF only. I do see private jets a lot though. I like stalking them on Flightradar😂😂

lol....like only english speaking countries exist?

There are jets all over the world that offer this wonderful service! No more commercial flights for me😊

It’s in the US. My flights from Cleveland to Las Vegas is like $42,000. 🤦🏽‍♂️. Cheapest I seen for any city was like $5K….this is clickbait

That's a deal compared to what I was quoted for a similar leg. Seattle to Las Vegas $29,000 and Seattle to San Francisco for $26,000 for One Person. Lol what a joke.

@@cougsjohnson1 It's not a joke, it's called corporate travel. Luxury comes at a co$t.

@@ernieszelepcsenyi5710- It is a joke considering the content creator made it seem like you could fly private for economy pricing. I understand the appeal of private flight for high profile individuals but that wasn’t the premise of the video.

@@brandonleesanders Well there may be certain aircraft types flying shorter legs that are in fact cheaper. A Gulfstream G5 is operated at a much much higher cost per mile than a tiny Piaggio Avanti turboprop (they type in this video). YMMV

@@brandonleesandersyeah this is just scammy and click baity

Glad to hear it!

@@DownieLive Glad to find you and your channel as well...pretty cheerful.

@@DownieLive Your smile, your laughter and your knowledge are perfect. You characteristics made people feel unwind and want to be there with you for wider vision. Will be following you everywhere!

who asked?

​@@madhu5465 I did

@TiMMY 2PHONE5 An independent movie called "At Night With No Curtains".

@@madhu5465 I did

Sounds awesome

Oh yes, I was thinking the same thing, but I’m 50+ so I thought it might just be me.😂

He needs to curl the back to go totally retro.

@@keith_jones Kentucky waterfall

You just launched that app success. No longer a corporate secret.
Respectfully, someone should have provided longer layers below the crown in the back or shortened the length. The lack of balance resembles a ladies shag cut. You are too adorable to be stuck with the stylist that did that to you.

Yeah, not rockin’ it 😕

Oh if you're heading to the island and flexible with your dates, definitely check out the Deals page on the Airble app.

@@DownieLive Oh! I actually booked my ticket months in advanced. It's to get a better deal.

It's only available in Canada.

Anywhere interesting, John!

JSX and Blade exist in the US. Have never flown in either but friends have done JSX.

@@Santiago-in1xf JSX and Blade are private jet fleets, the same as Million Air. They definitely fly deadhead routes, but they aren't really in the same category as Airble, which, as Downie explained, contracts with companies such as Million Air(and I'm hoping eventually JSX and Blade) to fly deadhead routes with Airble customers onboard, essentially turning those deadheads into real flights!

Ten dollars a day for Uber jets sounds very false considering that most Ubers charge more than double of that for a car ride less than an hour long.

@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast Yeah, I was referring to the upgrade on car rentals being $10/day more, not Uber or flying privately...sorry for the confusion. But as Downie explained, for just a little more ($150 each over commercial), he and his friend were able to fly private. Pretty cool!

@@itsnotme07 10 bucks a day for a car rental is excellent. I never rented a car for less than a 100 something a day.

I think the making flights faster by removing the wait times, customs...etc will make costs come down and profits go up for these private airlines because the 2 hrs of wait time for each flight adds up and if there's 5 flights per day that 10 hours of more flights that could be done in that time.

@@D33Lux
Yup while that could also allow those charter airlines to do flights that are the same price per person compared to economy class non budget airlines! That’s of course as long as your group is just the right size to fill the flight! They might also be cheaper than commercial airlines when it comes to flying to more remote locations were commercial flights are otherwise really expensive like from any major city in Australia to Alice Springs for example! :)

@@D33Luxyea, but you neglected to consider range. On a NY to LA flight, you’d have to stop for fuel on the way, taking up to two hours to accomplish.

It's funny because you get the exact same experience at tiny, remote airports. Quick checks, empty and comfortable with tons of amenities, get walked out to the runway by the pilot and boarded immediately, takeoff is quick. I flew out of some small ass town in Idaho and it was EXACTLY like this.

@@borg_wow that does sound pretty nice. Even my local airport in Tulsa is pretty convenient and low stress compared to big city airports. My limited experience with flying private was that it was on a different level simply because of the flexibility and control over schedule that the owner has. We pulled the car right up next to the plane and left the keys in it for someone to deal with and were in the air in less than 5 minutes. If I actually owned a jet I imagine it would be difficult to go back to commercial when it’s necessary. The owner of the jet I’ve flown on sometimes has to because planes require regular maintenance and once in awhile his pilots just aren’t available because they do have lives. I’m sure flying American Airlines is rough after a month of using a PJ. To me commercial flights still feel like a nice luxury even if they have a lot of stress that seems unnecessary.

Agreed. 1 hour flight on that plane emits 2 tonnes of C02. Average C02 global emissions per person is 4.

But you understand that this flight was going to fly empty regardless, right?!

@@DownieLive Empty or full, private planes are still one of the worst polluters there is.

I’m not disagreeing. They shouldn’t be used, but the reality is that they are…

@@DownieLive not you mate, was a good video but I think people should just be aware of how bad private flights are for the environment. Not like you're flying everywhere, it's the industry itself that's the issue not you. Like your vids keep going.

I’m always hanging out across the street at my buddies car restoration shop. That’s such a cool place to see jets. Lots of those Avelo planes lately.

Charters can be the best way to go... and if you pool with other family or friends you can go farther with about or in this case cheaper than most coach prices.
You can give up the reliability on the return flight costs and availability sometimes.

😂

If this app wants to make the big time, it should expand into the US, Canada and Mexico.

Airlines need not worry, this is not a mass-scalable model. There won’t be any more cheap ”deadhead” trips available when more people know about this: the fares are going to go up to fit demand to the relatively static supply. Maybe more existing private plane operators will sign up as it gets more popular, but there’s only so many of them. It’s also unlikely that this app makes private plane operating that much more profitable overall to allow new operators to start up.

@@hylje the app doesn't need to make the plane profitable for a company it just needs to get them closer to breaking even, they're gonna spend the money either way. I believe that's what I just said in my comment, it'll never replace popular routes in bulk but for odd route specially from non international airports this could really take a chunk out of that market. Commercial airlines usually need to somewhat deadhead themselves for the more out of the way routes meanwhile every airport in America has at least one private plane parked at it. If you notice on the app in the beginning it's not just fancy jets, they had little Cessnas on there too. Could really help a plane enthusiast pay for maintenance or just help them get more hours. Small planes are just way better for some routes instead of a half empty 747 once a month.

This is not a dependable mode of transportation because there is no guarantee that an airplane will be at the airport you want to depart from and even worse trying to find an airplane to return to where you want to go.

Just stay? Doesn’t work that way.

A turboprop is a jet engine that turns a propeller. It's still a jet, just not a turbofan with an afterburner.

@@Beet5090 no, a jet uses a turbine engine to produce thrust to move the vehicle. This does use a turbine, but that spins the prop, hence not a jet.
Jet definition- "a rapid stream of liquid or gas forced out of a small opening." which is not how a propeller works, otherwise you'd be saying that every helicopter with a turbine engine is also a het5, which they're not; or the Chrysler turbine car from the 50s is also a jet since it uses a turbine engine to turn it's wheels, and it's obviously not a jet

@@lambotama I'm glad you can use google. The engine on the Avanti uses the same principles as a turbofan. Whether it uses the exhaust to provide thrust or turn a propeller does not change whether the engine is jet powered.
Do your own research instead of looking silly online. OR don't, I don't really care. Just wanted to correct your mistake :)

still a jet , dunno why u hating

The Cirrus Vision Jet would probably be a better comparison.
