If I were Filthy Rich
By Beta_Nerdy+297 If you won a BILLION Dollars in the Mega Million Lottery would you still fly commercial, or only fly private?
You won the Mega Million Lottery! The highest prize ever- ONE BILLION DOLLARS after taxes!
You want to travel all over the USA and the world. Would you fly on a commercial flight? (Fight the crowds, long TSA lines, and potential flight delays.) While first-class sounds good, you still have to make your way through an airport and put up with all the hassles.
How about private jets? A limo picks you up at your fancy mansion, takes you directly to the plane, and flies you directly to a smaller airport with a limo that will pick you up next to the plane.
Your choice!

+359 @Fantastic_Puppeter First class commercial flights by default. Private if no good commercial options available.
+95 @t_dog581 Billions? Private, no question. I used to fly private jets. There is no comparison to the level of quality. You'd never set foot in an airline terminal again in your life, I promise.
+47 @silentsights International Flights: I’d fly First Class on commercial airlines because international airlines like Singapore Airways, Etihad, and Emirates have some of the most *incredible* airline suites I’ve ever seen, as well as very cool Private First Class lounges at airports like Heathrow in London. Domestically: I’d fly private because all first class options on American domestic flights are not worth it. There’s nothing “luxury” about them anymore when you compare them to international options.
+24 @karma_the_sequel What, no comments about how destructive to the environment flying private would be?
+15 @TheLizardKing89 I would still fly commercial the vast majority of the time but I would use the Private Suite service all the time. https://reserveps.com
+15 @Responsible-Milk-259 So we’re talking $40-50m income a year if sitting in risk-free treasuries… even if I bought a $10m house every year, a $1m car, wasted $1m on clothes and shoes (wouldn’t be doing any stupid shit like that, but suppose I did)… I could still easily afford to fly private everywhere and still save most of my income. Yeah, I’d be done with commercial for sure.
+12 @Different-Use2742 I would fly first class but not private.
+12 @Yahbo I enjoy people watching at the airport so I wouldn’t mind the “hassle”, that’s part of the fun for me; and one of the big advantages of winning is that I would never feel rushed to get anywhere ever again so the time sink is not an issue either. That main reason I would likely still fly commercial though is that I morally object to the idea of private planes and flights and wouldn’t want to participate in that.
+12 @Non_Binary_Goddess I do not want to have a target on my back, so no. Stealth wealth for me.
