What's on an $500/hour flight on an 8-seat plane?

Business Insider reporter Taylor Rains shared his experience flying on a $8 million Wheels Up Company's King Air 350i.

Taylor Rains expressed that private flights are much more convenient than regular commercial flights. The flight on the King Air 350i that she experienced for 5,000 USD/hour only had 8 seats.

In addition to paying for individual tickets, pilots can register as members and deposit up to 400,000 USD to Wheels Up to experience the service.

Taylor's flight departed from Teterboro (New Jersey) at 4:30 p.m. to Eastampton in Long Island, New York, taking about an hour. The process of getting into the plane was quick, she did not need to check security or compare information on the ticket.

pilots must spend at least 3,500 flight hours as captains and 1,200 hours as crew members. All have to undergo initial and extensive flight training, as well as receive first aid and emergency training.

The fuselage has 8 seats designed with 4 seats facing each other. Long chairs with cushions can be rotated, creating more leg space between chairs and making it easier for passengers to chat with each other. In between each set of lung seats is a large table that can fold into the fuselage.

In addition, each person was served a cup and a glass of water. Prevention contained in each host. Windows can be adjusted. In particular, visitors can connect to Wi-Fi during their trip.

During the flight, passengers will have many snacks and drinks contained in easy-to-grow drawers throughout the passenger compartment, such as water, soda, fruit juice, granola bars, French fries, nuts... Alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine... and coffee.

At the rear of the plane was a cargo hold. The bathroom is separated from the cabin by a slide and has an outward look.

The sink is behind the left door of the restroom. The door was a bit unplayable, but Taylor was impressed with what was inside. The sink is fully equipped with first aid items and personal hygiene items, such as bananas and mouthwash. There was also a large mirror inside the door.

After an hour, the plane landed in New York. Taylor got off the plane and arrived at the airport within a few minutes without having to wait long.

Taylor said she really appreciated the experience and understood why wealthy travelers chose private jets to travel.

However, she noted to tourists that the King Air 350i has four seats facing each other, so on bulky flights, some tourists may feel uncomfortable. If you are prone to traffic jams, visitors can prepare medicine in advance to have a perfect trip.
