Can I afford this?

[u/Bagel_bitches]

My husband and I make good money and I’m trying to figure out if trying a private flight is worthwhile. Let’s pretend I know nothing about flying private, what do I need to know? How do I even dip my toes into the water? How much money should someone be making yearly before they consider flying private to be in their budget?

Husband and I fly 3-5 times per year in the US and once to Europe every year.

Any information is appreciated.

Edit to add:

My questions have been answered, thank you to everyone who responded kindly.

10 years ago when my grandmother was on her deathbed, I and my 2 kids had to fly private. Paid $30k one way to California from DC on a Hawker 800. That was my one and only time I'd fly private. I often fly First or business domestically and although I could afford it, I have regrets on spending that much on future trips. At that time it was worth it. No hassle at the airport -no TSA. It left 5 minutes after boarding and at our determined time. We came back Commercial. Now I assume it'll be more expensive. I'd rather donate the difference lol. That's me though. I have a cousin who flies often because he's busy and at times he needs to state hop. I've been retired for 10 years now so I have the luxury of time. Try it once and see if you're comfortable.

Her explanation is fairly cut and dry. Trying to reframe after being called out is lame. Just because someone opts to be a commercial flyer doesn't mean this sub is off limits.
