IS THIS REALLY A PRIVATE JET EXPERIENCE?

[Music] when is a private jet not a private jet on to the point when is an economy class flight not an economy class flight to find out I had to drive to Seattle's Boeing Field Airport a 20-minute drive north of SeaTac where an airline called Jets we Tex think that they have the answer you see they operate flies in economy class that isn't really economy class it's more of a private jet experience is how they sell it at least and the first experience of them to me is arriving here at Boeing Field in Seattle and there's a load of private jets Porter it does feel really exclusive so let's head inside and see just how exclusive you can get for like a hundred dollars each way let's go well as it soon turned out this so-called private jet experience wasn't quite as exclusive as I'd been expecting well this is not a fantastic start to this trip it seems that when Jeffrey takes promise in private just experience for the price of Economy we're talking about the sort of private jet that yes should be scheduled by five hours and doesn't even bother to email you really disappointing start to be honest for me it's not so much of an issue I've got my loads of time where I'm going anyway before my next flight but if you were a businessman and you were going down to a meeting or something then this would be really inconvenient not least because of the fact that any other flights down to Oakland or the Bay Area in general we'll all go from SeaTac Airport which is about 20 minutes from here there's literally no other two commercial flights from here at Seattle Boeing field so I'm gonna go try and find something to do for the next five hours while I wait for my flight to come now they bother to actually tell me that my flight is not going to go to this afternoon so let's go see if there's something else to do around here at Boeing Field as it turned out there was Boeing's Museum of Flight is situated on the airfield and was a great way to kill a few hours waiting for a flight don't forget to check out my full video of my visit to the Museum of Flight if you've not seen it already it was soon afternoon and time to walk two miles back around the airfield to the terminal but the staff had finally arrived they took my bike this morning because I came to the original flight I think my back is alright thank you Cheers once you've checked in your bags are swabbed and tested and there's no security you just head through to the lounge and wait the flight to be called there's free tea coffee and refreshments in the lounge as well as some nice views across the airport my right down to Oakland today was this embryo one three five originally delivered to American Eagle in 2000 and bought by jet sweet X in 2016 now a word from our sponsors are you a man do you keep forgetting to buy razor blades just like me hello oh thank you very much all right well thank God gosh Harry's have come to the rescue and it's really simple really you just sign up with them receive your razor shaving gel and first pack of blades in the post and they get new blades or gel automatically delivered on a schedule to see you I love it because I don't have to do a thing to keep fresh blades and shaving gel in the bathroom you just set you deliver interval and they just turn off no more using rusty puddin blades because you've forgotten to go and get new ones and no more paying ridiculous prices for eight bladed quantum edge titanium tip vibrating Ujima flips that's the lock 20 with 20 blades we guarantee you the closest shave of your life that could be the edge I need to make me a first-rate professional businessman you just get a simple great shape for a great price this trial sets worth 11 pounds 50 but Harry's are offering you this trial set completely free of charge just pay for the delivery or even sending you a free post shave balm of trial -
