When Your Survival Guy flies private, it’s with ExpertJet. When I want to get my family from A to B without the hassle of bag checks, TSA, and fist fights in row 15, where everyone feels like the “customer is always right.” That’s not how I want to travel. Look, I know it sounds extravagant, and it is on many levels, but I’m not writing to some average Joe. I’m writing to you, my successful American, who has lived within your means and has saved ‘til it hurts. Now you have some money to spend. Don’t let your kids be happier when you’re dead than alive. Take some trips.

Because not that long ago, there was a time when air travel, customer service, and investing boutiques would treat you with the respect you deserved. Nowadays, it’s you and me who are paying for the guy taking up all the room in row 15 because he complained until he was blue in the face to get a “free” ticket. The same is true when you call about your investments. You’re stuck in a phone death loop where questions go unanswered, and expectations of problem resolution go to die.

That’s not getting a bang for your buck. Because yes, there is some truth to the fact that you can’t take the money with you. There are ways you can craft your itinerary, for example, to include a few of your favorite friends, split the cost three ways, and spend the rest of the trip over drinks talking about how you got there and sharing pictures. That’s fun.

That’s why Your Survival Guy enjoys talking with my friend Andrew Flaxman, who owns ExpertJet. We discuss the needs of each trip, and he gets back to me with three or more options to choose from, and away we go. When we roll up plane side, oftentimes he’s standing there to meet us. As a pilot himself, I rely upon him to make sure everything is status quo and then some.

Action Line: When you’re flying less than 25 hours per year, it’s hard to justify a jet card, fractional ownership, lease, or the purchase of a jet. It’s why we go à la carte, and if you must go to Paris, why not arrive in class on a Global 7500?
