The preferred mode of travel for billionaires , CEOs , celebrities, and world leaders, the private jet can be seen as the epitome of luxury and wealth.
Traditional commercial flying is an affordable service for the masses, but flying on a private jet is a very different world, Eric Roth, president of International Jet Interiors , told Business Insider.
"Privacy, productivity, comfort, luxury and convenience are some of the major differences between flying private vs. commercial," Roth said. "You decide when you want to leave YOU dictate the schedule not the airlines. Chinese food for your flight from Teterboro to Van Nuys? No problem. Need to change your plans mid-flight and reroute to another city? OK."
Private plane travel represents freedom for those who can afford it, he said.
"Flying on a private jet can be the difference of being at three different cities for meetings and still returning home at a decent hour. Time is the one commodity that even money can not buy. A private jet is the best way to 'buy time,'" Roth said.
