I have a friend that I have not known to long but become chummy with a feel close to this person.<BR>We get along great, so much so, I had no idea this person was wealthy and is now asking me if I want to accompany her around on a few trips.<BR>She is going to the US and coming back to Italy using netjets.<BR>She says she is part owner.<BR>Huh?????????????<BR>Yea, I am stunned.<BR>Anyway, I have never heard of them and would like to know if any of you have.<BR><BR>There seems to be a lot of affluent people on this board and I thought some of you may know something more personal that what I have read about them online.<BR><BR>We would be going to Italy ( I think landing in Milan).<BR>Have any of you done this?<BR>Does anyone know anyone working at this company?<BR>Would you think it is safe?<BR>I have only ever traveled on commercial carriers in economy.<BR>What do you all think about flying into Milan? My friend said we could land at any airport, but I think I'd feel better at a bigger one.<BR>I hope some of you know something more than I.<BR>Thanks for any help.

hoping for someone who can at least hook me up to someone that knows of this company,........ please.

don't know much but know it is a good company

Actually NetJets are an old client of mine.<BR><BR>They specialise in fractional ownership, so it's basically like buying a part share in a private jet (except you don't buy into one jet, you buy into their fleet).<BR><BR>For the seriously wealthy only – their clients include people like Pete Sampras.<BR><BR>So if you don't want to go, I'll happily step in.

Kate,<BR><BR>Have you actually flown with them or ordered a flight for someone else?<BR>Do you still deal with them?<BR>I know they are a frac company, but wanted to know how people felt flying with them. <BR>The internet says they fly smaller jets and I am surprised they make it overseas. I wonder if we have to stop often to refill.<BR>Thanks.<BR>

No, I'm afraid I haven't had the privilege of flying with them. Yes, some of their aircraft are large enough for transatlantic.<BR><BR>They are owned (and used) by Warren Buffet, the world's second richest man, so if he's ok with them, I'm sure you will be.<BR><BR>Are you a nervous passenger or something?

Kate: yes, you could say that, but I didn't tell my friend.

Ah, now I understand. Well, their planes are smaller private aircraft rather than large commercial airliners, so I can understand your reservations if you're a nervous passenger, but their safety record is very good.<BR><BR>If you're nervous about flying, then I guess nothing I can tell you about NetJets will ultimately make you feel comfortable at take-off. I suggest tranquilizers.
