How to take a private jet from LA to SF for only $109

Flying private is a pipe dream for many travelers — a pipe dream that now has a chance of coming true.

For those that don't mind a private flight being not-so-private, a charter company is offering travelers the ability to book a seat on "everybody's private jet."

JetSuiteX — a subset of JetSuite, a private chartering company — is the "first public charter," where travelers can log on and book a seat just like on an airline's website. 

The company is offering $109 one-way fares between Los Angeles and San Francisco for the launch on April 19. According to a recent Google flight search, that price is on par with business and first class fares between the cities. In fact, the whole thing is rather like flying first class, if you took away the security lines.

JetSuiteX flights will also go between San Jose and Bozeman, Montana (near Yellowstone National Park) and Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The company plans on expanding private booking service to San Diego, Santa Barbara and Phoenix.

JetSuite's private jets can still also be chartered — in their entirety — for $8,000 per hour, or about $300 per person per hour for you and 29 of your closest friends (that can afford to pay $300 per hour).
