A TikTok influencer named Steve walks through buying a private jet at his London office. Instead of dropping $20 million on ownership, he suggests buying flight hours instead, which costs way less for occasional travel. The showroom has a massive screen showing every jet for sale and a life-size floor plan model.

Have you ever wanted to buy a private jet? I love watching the TikTok videos about jets. I've been following this account, The Jet Business, on TikTok for a really long time, and Steve is such a cool guy. So since I'm in London and his office is here, I messaged him. I was like, hey, can you teach me everything I need to know? Just purely for entertainment reasons, obviously. But his office was so cool, just like the videos. This giant state-of-the-art screen that shows every single jet for sale in the world. He sits you down and basically starts asking you the basic questions. First of all, what's your budget? What type of travel do you usually do? Is it going to be long haul or is it going to be short haul? For example, do you want to just fly London to Saint-Tropez and St. Moritz, or do you want to go from London to Vancouver? Last but not least, what's your passenger capacity? How many people do you want to bring on? Like 14 people or only 5 people? The most interesting part is after I was telling him all my details, he kind of asked, do you really need to buy a private jet, or maybe you just need to buy hours on a private jet? Still expensive, don't get me wrong, but it's for like a fraction of the cost, and you can just buy a certain amount of hours that you're going to realistically use. Because let's be real, I'm not flying every single day, so do I really need a private jet? And then I was like, okay, wait, Steve, this was all for entertainment, remember? I'm not actually buying a private jet. Screens were so cool because it's a real life-size floor plan of how big the jet is, so you can see how big the aisles are, the seats, and Cool. Does anyone have a spare 20 million?
