Irish Independent: ...the €50k-an-hour luxury V-VIP plane...

Take a peek inside the €50k-an-hour luxury V-VIP plane with master bedroom, oversized shower and high-living lounge

Is the economy class seat just not cutting it for you anymore?

If you can gather a few friends, and be willing to pay €50,000-an-hour (not including fuel), you could take a ride on the the Boeing Business 787 Dream Jet.

The luxury plane features a master bedroom, master washroom, master dressing area, lounge and dining area and guest cabins.
For more, please see:

It's fascinating to see how the very very few fly these days.

Cheers & Safe Travels. ^

wonder who is operating it (and who owner is)

EK has private jet with 10 F suites and shower

makes the EY Residence (etc) look cheap

i guess they are not giving a fuel inclusive hourly price here because depends on weight?

Thanks Kagehitokiri for your insights/thoughts about this particular subject.

Companies makes sense, but only when they truly need it IMHO.

In regards of individual private ownership of such "toys"...that's amazing and I can't really comprehend this...who truly needs it...but that's "only" me.

Of course such private mega planes which offer well beyond "first" or "EY Residence" are a dream for many and for myself to be honest.

Cheers & Safe Travels. ^

overwhelming majority of general aviation is low level business flights, because destinations and timing of commercial do not work
