Thanks to the coronavirus, it’s getting hard to move around. Travel centers such as airports, train stations, and the subway are vectors for disease. Social distancing will help us prevent the spread of the pandemic, and traveling is a sure way to encounter lots of people. But people still need to move around the country. And, like everything else in America, that’s easier to do if you’re rich. Luxury Aircraft Solutions, a company that brokers travel between private airlines and flyers, is now advertising itself as an alternative to the major airlines.
Luxury Aircraft Solutions offers private chartered flights for those who can afford them. The cost of a private chartered flight from New York City to Los Angeles was, and remains, around $25,0000 to $35,0000. According to company representative Daniel Hirschhorn, there’s been an increase in demand.
