The founder of Facebook clearly enjoys private aviation. For $692k, we could fly him from coast-to-coast about thirty-five times.

$692,679 for “personal use of aircraft chartered in connection with his comprehensive security program and on which family and friends flew during 2011,” and which includes “passenger fees, fuel, crew and catering costs”.

Brad and Angelina recently shared their private jet with George Clooney and his girlfriend. The girls didn’t speak on the flight. Is this an etiquette issue? There’s no obligation to chat on a flight.

What do readers think?

Hawker was the most popular manufacturer in the sector.

Light Jets were by far the most popular size chartered, and were almost half (44.6%) of all charters in 2011. In listing the top five most popular light jets, tied for first were the Citation V/Ultra (19.1% of light jets) and the Beechjet 400/Hawker 400XP (19.1%), followed by the Learjet 35 (14.5%), Citation II (11.1%) and Westwind I/II (9.2%).

Flying children on commercial airlines can be a stressful mode of transport for parents.

Southwest Airlines is apologizing to a Clarksville, Tenn., family and investigating how a 9-year-old girl flying as an unaccompanied minor from Nashville to New York on Tuesday ended up re-routed and delayed for five hours without the airline notifying the family.

MSNBC

In other commercial aviation news, the TSA has apologized for searches of two elderly women, 85 and 88.

The action followed complaints by Lenore Zimmerman, 85, of Long Beach, N.Y., and Ruth Sherman, 88, of Sunrise, Fla., that they were effectively strip-searched while traveling separately through the airport in November.

Zimmerman, who weighs less than 110 pounds and is in a wheelchair, said that after being escorted into a private room she had to raise her shirt and lower her pants for a female TSA agent and remove her back brace, which was put through an X-ray machine.

A coterie of Manhattan executives are plunking down $42,000 to rent a private jet to whisk them to Candlestick Park for Sunday’s NFC Championship game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants, according to reports.

William Powers, a man of modest means described in media as a “Manhattan executive,” was only too happy to tell the New York Post that he and seven friends are spending $7,000 each for tickets to the game, lodgings at the Ritz-Carlton, transit to and from Candlestick (if only there were a runway there) and assorted other expenses.

We have two questions for these fans:

  1. Why didn’t they call us first? We could have beaten the price.
  2. Why is this news-worthy? Thousands of sports lovers fly private.

As residents of the SF bay area, we conclude with GO 49′ers!!!
