    20k one way is expensive?

      That’s half a year’s salary for a LOT of people, damn right it’s expensive

        A one way first class from Toronto to New York City is 1-3k

        On the low end that’s only 20 people for a private flight, on the higher end it’s 6-7 for a whole plane

        Not a lot. Several percent, maybe.

        EDIT: not a lot of people is what I meant. Most earn much, much less.

          I actually can’t tell if you’re being serious or not…

          Are you…?

          Average salary in my city is ~$60k. $20k for a flight is ludicrous.

            The world is not just USA.

              You’re right, it’s even worse economically in many places.

                And better in others.

                  And yet there’s no where that $20k USD is a reasonable amount

              That makes you even more wrong as 20k USD is quite expensive.

                That’s what I’ve been stressing in the first place!

              I live in Canada, so…

              Doesn’t have anything to do with $20k being absurd, but…

            For the people / businesses who book these flights.

              Yeah, but the conversation is about people being bale to afford it at all? Of course people who can afford it… Can afford it? That number is under 1% of the population, so it really shouldn’t be a thing.
