How can you fly with a private pilot to a small city airport?

Is there a place where people who want to travel to a small town or city can meet up with private pilots with small planes who want help with the fuel costs and make some money back on their investment? Is the cost typically more or less than flying on a commercial outfit like United Express?

Jay S asked:


If I pass my PPL (Private Pilots License) what way can I get a plane if I don’t have enough money?

I’m from the UK and wanted to know.
Are there any websites where I can pay off a bit each month, eventually paying it all off and own the plane?

Or are there any shops doing the same. Thanks.

Julian B asked:


I know that I can split the cost of aircraft rental, fuel costs, etc with other people i am flying. But how does flying for charity work. I don’t think I can make money by flying for charity. Is it possible for the organization to pay for all of the plane rental and fuel costs?

Also I will be getting my private pilots license soon, and do any of you know any charitable organizations that I can fly for to gain hours without spending all of my money. Specifically around southwestern Connecticut and new york city. Thanks

How can GM executives expect public sentiment when they fly to bailout hearing in private jets? ?

harryh asked:


I know this is normal for top execs to fly everywhere in executive jets. But, this just shows a lack of common sense on the executives part. Take the jet anywhere- just not to a hearing where your begging for 50 billion dollars of Americans money. Without common sense, how can you expect these executives to be capable of running such a company. This just wasn’t smart. Plain and simple. If you want public sentiment, fly Southwest then stay at a Hampton Inn. Leak the story to the media, and you would get public sentiment and your 50b. Give the public something to work with. Everyone knows you don’t meet the IRS wearing your good jewelry. C’mon guys- common sense.
