Ooh it also comes with one free main cabin return ticket. They are pulling out all the stops

I did a review of day of week departure stats and will post if I can find the document.

Are there any restrictions as to fare class, continental US only, or the ticket must be below a certain price?

If not I would use it to buy a full Y fare.

This program only makes sense in certain parts of the country where there's a high concentration of private jet service, and further so...if they are DL.

Would this be tax deductible as a business expense? I commute for work between LGA, BOS, and some other cities. If I could make half my trips to those cities could I tax deduct it?

Lol - I did this with Jet Smarter for twice the price - best damn fun of my life.

I'm arguing with my wife as we speak about whether us average joes can afford this. Her concern will be the thousands I spend positioning myself for empty leg flight heading back home, and/or flying back home from an empty leg flight.

I did one flight with JS when they had free empty legs on holidays. Was lucky enough to have MSP-TEB come up. One of the most fun days of my life, but almost never see 'useful' empty legs from MSP, to make it worth investing in any of these programs.

ah too bad - NYC is a different beast - on maybe 30% of my flights I was even able to catch a private jet going the other way too. It wasn't ideal - i.e. Teterboro to Bar Harbour (Main) one way; then Bangor to White Plains back, etc. but it worked. I'm super excited about this. I called DPJ and the lady sounded optimistic they would have it and told me to watch my email.

Curious about the "free main cabin return ticket", or if that was only a 2018 promotion.

Currently on the DPJ app, most of the flights appear to be 0:45 to 1:15 short hops that aren't worth the trouble.

It was $5k this weekend. I still didn’t bite, but the AmpliFLY feature may be useful (allows other routing options, e.g. Milwaukee to New York empty leg available, you can choose to get off at Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh).

It’s a bit harder to see route history in the new interface.

they aren't. The only plane DPJs that is similar to DCI is the Challenger which is what the CRJ is based off of.

Other than that its Citations, Phenoms, Nextants, Learjets, Gulfstreams, and Hawkers.

They use to have it listed on the DPJs website.
