Booking a private flight . . . .

Featured Replies

Mrs. Smwhorn and I are looking at possible ways to get my 91 year old mother in law and our dawg (small mini Aussie but not small enough to fly in cabin on a commercial flight) on a private flights from either Austin or Houston to Salt Lake City. No way could we do this commercially. Neither the MIL or the Dawg snow ski, but that's a different thread for a different day.

Any Surly hooligans ever fly private through NetJets or any of these others whose services come up regularly on my iphone feeds? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Anyone wanna take my ninety one year old mother in law to Salt Lake so we don't have to?

Just really looking to see if this is an option for us. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think we know how this will turn out.

Just don’t forget to untie the dog from the Family Truckster before leaving the rest stop.

It’s only the biggest goddamned hole in the world.

Make that the second-biggest.

Its not, if you have to ask you are too poor to do this.

Have you looked into JSX? You'd have to get her to Dallas, but it's probably the closest realistic way to accomplish what you are looking for.

JSX doesn’t fly to SLC from DAL.

Probably better to coordinate this request with a head-coach search. When that happens, half of the board becomes aviation experts.

Gf sells chartered flights. You’re probably looking at $17-25k minimum depending on aircraft type and availability. If that is a doable number for you, dm me and I can have her get a quote sent your way. Good luck either way.

Yep. I have people he can contact if needed but if your gf makes money then go that route. I’d agree on that price range as a minimum because anything very small will be hard to get her into and out of. GL OP

Unless that MIL is leaving you a 7+ figure inheritance, she ain’t worth the cost of a private plane ride.

They do from Love Field.

Not super cost effective, but definitely cheaper than private and could accommodate the dog.

That’s with a stop and change of planes.

It'd cheaper to literally rent a 40Ft diesel pusher luxury RV and a driver than it is to rent a god damned plane. Idk what the fuck OP is thinking and it makes me irrationally angry.

This hurts my feelings, Immamac. To quote my friend T Swift, Why you gotta be so mean? I"m just tryna help my wife's momma......

Now, where can I rent said 40ft luxury RV and driver? Sounds awesome.

I don’t think there will be much driving.

You drive with dog. Wife flies (commercial) with MIL. I don't understand how some of y'all dress yourselves in the morning.
