Yaakov asked:


Round trip first class tickets on a commercial airline from Houston, TX, to Phuket, Thailand, cost $13000 and up per person. It sounds like it would be cheaper to charter a private jet! But how much cheaper?
No, not joking. With 3 or 4 people flying together, that comes to more than $50,000 in airfare. It seemed reasonable that I could charter a jet for cheaper. I guess not. :-/
