So, who has a Private Jet they use regularly?

Okay, seems a little of topic, even for a meaningless category...

Firstly I need to confess that I have in the past purchased, as new, items of Rapha clothing and that I have bought the odd copy of Rouleur magazine. I'm sure I'm not the only one...

So, as a few of you might have seen, Rouleur/Rapha have sent out one of their surveys with the sweetner of 10% off and free shipping, so on the off-chance I weaken again, filled it out.

Amoung the usual questions used to determine how stupidly wealthy some of their customers are, was the following question. Maybe we should add it as a poll?

How do you normally travel for leisure and business? Tick all that apply
  • Private jet
  • First class
  • Business/club class
  • Premium economy
  • Economy/budget

I kid you not!

Well as far as I know they do have some wealthy Hollywood people on their customer list so it's not all that far fetched.

Economy class is an option too though....

that's so disgusting! Jonesy, are you really serious?!? surely even Rapha wouldn't be so clueless about their cyclist market to not include cycling!? Seriously!! I mean they clearly were trying to ask how do you fly, but for f*cks sake, how about an other like "I don't fly because it's incredibly bad for the environment" or "train" or "boat". Ugh, I'm so grossed out.

A 'Private jet' in not all that pricey, we where going to take one snowboarding last year. 10 grand all in and it seats 22 people, so about 450 each with no transfers and airport hassle stuff.

We went for ryanair and a bunch of hire cars in the end :-(

i used to work for a company that flew me around in a private jet. we made it wait on the runway for an hour once cuz we were running late. it cost the company about £50,000.
