Poor
The main advantage of a private jet is having to be at the airport only 15 minutes ahead of the flight to meet your pilot. Another advantage is the near total lack of security as shown in the video (meaning less time needed between home and plane. After hurricane Maria, I flew private to Florida and I could have taken a bazooka on board in my luggage. TBH, the terminal looked like a scene out of Casablanca as we were all trying to get out of PR and there were hundreds) of people there.
Disadvantages are small space (almost total lack of space for a carry-on, low headroom when standing and going to the restroom.
All the niceties (food, drink, service) cost extra. My flight cost me 23k for a 7 seat Gulfstream so I drank the included soft drink; my traveling partner did help himself to a basic bar. There were various snacks available like in your video. For the jet to come to us, they filled it with toilet paper and some cases of water to qualify as a humanitarian relief flight in order to get one of the few landing slots available at the time (those first days after Maria, the SJU airport was operating daytime only with just 4 planes in/out per hour max.
Funniest thing of that flight (it was a horrible flight for me because of what it represented) was the open cockpit and seeing an Airplane movie hula dancer by the controls. Another thing I remember is that the jet felt like a Ferrari, able to make nimble turns/adjustments compared to what it feels in the regular commercial planes.

the best benefit, and quite frankly the only benefit of flying private, is time savings from not having to arrive early at airport to go through security. apart from time savings, I am sad to say first class and lots of business class products from top tier commercial operators offer far superior comfort and luxury. a tiny private jet simply doesn't have the space to accommodate equipment that makes first class dining possible, a tiny private jet also don't have the space or weight capacity to store a large alcohol collection for passengers to choose from. back in my 20s when i was still working, i had access to company jets, yet i still preferred to fly commercial if possible. you simply can't beat it from ground experience in premium lounge, to bar in the sky and far better food options than a tiny gulfstream or citation kitchen can whip up.

I'd love to go to Montserrat to visit the ruins of a recording studio that was built by Sir George Martin, record producer to the Beatles. Air Studio Montserrat was built by Sir George Martin in 1979. It was severely damaged by Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and closed permanently then abandoned. Many famous rock music artists recorded albums there during the ten years it was open.

I am putting together a biz plan involving a gulfstream g3 and Gulfstream/Grumman G7 Cougar to become part of the airports owners group but it's main use will be angel flights for military families and for Rotary international's MESA. Truly an honor to own and fly one of these espically when used to enrich others lives.

Oh wow! Beautiful design in that beauty! I work for someone who has a 650. I dream of getting a ride in it.
How awesome to be invited to ride along! Talk about awesome! I bet the flight attendant and pilots are miserable traveling to those beautiful places!

This is going to be super weird, Jeb
But was that car in the introduction an early 2010s Toyota Sequoia? I went purely off the presence of a rear window and washer to be an SUV, and the hood shaping led me to think Toyota.

jeb brooks. The Gulfstream is just a little bit bigger than the Phenom. Lol. Out of all of your private flying whats your favorite plane? I would love for you to do a comparison between the G280 and Challenger

At 6: 51 when you are just about to land you'll see the Sonesta Macho Beach resort. We stayed there, highly recommend! And for takeoff on a commercial jet? Wow, you really feel it!

This blog is so offensive. Meanwhile people are having tough time affording high gas prices or expensive food prices. Jeb is showing off how life is great for him. Get lost Jeb.

Probably unrelated. But I noticed a new airline - Breeze Airline at our local airport in Hartford CT. Would you be able to review this airline for us? Thanks very much!

Wonderful! Not only does the plane fly higher it is faster than commercial jets. Most World leaders should be flying on a Gulfstream instead of a Boeing or an Airbus.

Next time, you should take the lakeshore limited. The rails on the route are either Class 1 railroad or the rare amtrack owned tract.

Its not the plane or the flight, its the check in and ease of clearing customs and your car is washed and on the tarmac when you return.
