Beyond the mundane economy, business, or even first-class air travel to Hawaii, there’s another world, largely hidden away: travel by private jet to Hawaii. Let’s get clear. This is something we are not advocating, have ever done, or even envisioned. Your editors can count their experience with a private plane on just one hand. One such event was getting stuck on Lanai years ago with no flights to Honolulu, and another was in Southern Africa. Both were Cessna, single-engine prop planes, and unlike what we are about to discuss. So here goes.

Private “friction-less” jet flight travel is booming. It lets you pick your schedule, arrive last-minute at smaller airports, and drive straight to and from the plane for the ultimate in convenience and amenities.

In a world where avoiding airports, airlines, TSA, and crowding would be favored by the rich and famous, it’s a no-brainer that this is a thriving industry despite the associated expense and environmental impact.
