Private Jets in Poland

Noticing that the topic of private jets is a popular one on PolishForums, I felt it was time for a dedicated thread.

In recent years travel by private jet has become greatly democratized. Early players, like the Buffet-backed NetJets, have opened the market for hundreds of other companies offering jet for hire services at a fraction of the cost of ownership. People for whom travel by private jet was not accessible, are finally able to cruise the skies in style. Poland is no exception.

Attaching an image below of sample pricing from a company called Evo Jets for flights from Warsaw to other cities. Incredibly, the price is lower than the cost of a first class ticket on dirty commercial, in some cases. The flight to New York works out at downright business class prices ($75K / 16 passengers = $4,600).

Notice also that the price for New York is for a "heavy jet", so no need to worry about stomach-turning turbulence during your climb, or having to move about like Gandalf in Frodo's cabin!

Nothing personal, Bobko, but I would pay $4600 not to go to NY.

@Novichok

Even if you lived in Warsaw?

Especially if I lived in Warsaw. US Virgin Islands - the world's murder epicenter - would be a different matter.

Warsaw to NY would be OK but only if I could afford to buy a round-trip ticket.

One day I will charter a private jet for $13K from Warsaw to Paris (one way). Seeing as it fits 6-8 people, I will invite Cargo, Johnny, Joker, Jon, Miloslaw, Pawian and Paulina on this romantic sojourn (I'm leaving one seat vacant because you-know-who is said to be a rather large fellow).

I will request to have a dash cam installed facing the cabin, to record the hilarity that ensues.

Make sure the audio and the restroom work.

There's a very good firm in Poland where you can hire other people's private jets when they're not being used or have to make a journey to or from somewhere anyway.

It's sometimes not as expensive as you'd think. A friend used it when he had to go somewhere very quickly.

And, as we know so very well, private jets are maintained by the book and have the latest navi stuff. And those pilots flying once a month ... a really inspiring combination...

Quite.

And despite Mr Negative in post #8, they have an excellent safety record.

They're actually more reasonable than people think, especially if there are several of you travelling.


Lived. he passed away at a ripe old age; something that you will not enjoy.

And yes, several homes in very good places.

What is a 'zip code'? Is it a foreign term?

Spoken like an owner and a pilot. Paying only for gas in this equation, I assume?

A private pilot only works one fourth the hours so compare apples to apples, son.

I know couple of Pilots working for United and Lot.United guy takes home almost 400k after taxes and Lot Pilot takes home over 275k in Warsaw,both fly international.Its really hard work with the time zones and they are not allowed to get miles just discounted travel tickets only if there is a vacant seat.The work looks glamorous but its very tiring and takes its toll on ones body.

Plus they are tested both mentally and physically non-stop.
Plus non-stop training of the latest updates of rules and equipment.
It's not just flying a plane
Most commercial pilots burn out before retirement age.

Yup,almost every 3 months including the cabin crew.I feel bad for the cabin crew as they dont get paid well.Lot cabin crew starts with 7k pln gross.When my bud was getting divorced he was grounded by United for almost 6 months and still go for training and mental evaluations.Cabin crew work starts after the flight takes off and ends when the plane lands but they still have to put in xtra work.

I don't like flying.🛩🪂
