Inside Supercar Blondie's incredible six-figure private jet experience

Alex Hirschi – better known as Supercar Blondie – just got back to Dubai following a trip to Thailand using a private jet that cost a cool six figures to charter.

Alex admitted it was incredibly expensive, but she also explained she had a good reason for needing to fly private.

Privacy and convenience obviously played a key role, but there was another reason for her decision.

It had nothing to do with the price and everything to do with something very close to her heart.

Inside Supercar Blondie’s private jet flights

Alex’s private jet from Thailand to Dubai cost $180,000 to charter, which in her own words was ‘outrageously expensive,’ but it also came with several advantages.

The first obvious advantage was privacy, followed by convenience.

“You just rock up 15 minutes before the flight time and off you go. And then when you land, you’re straight out of the plane and in to the car,” she explained.

She also added that, with a private jet, flight times were flexible.

“You can update the flight time whenever you want”, she said.

“On the day I flew back from Thailand, I changed the time of the take off on the morning I was to fly, because I needed more time to pack. The convenience is amazing.”

How does it actually work?

Alex explained that in order to organize a flight, the best option was to go through several brokers to get the best deal.

They offered a range of options, including jet size, seating capacity, aircraft age, and safety record.

“I always choose firstly based on price but also, importantly, based on safety record. You choose the jet you want and you pick a date and time you want to fly,” she said.

In general, private jets aren’t slower than a commercial plane if they’re big enough.

“The flights I’ve taken are from Dubai to Europe and Dubai to Thailand. Both are around six to seven hours in terms of flight time,” she explained.

Why she flies private

Supercar Blondie also revealed the main reason she flies private – especially when she knows she’s going to be away from home for a few months at a time.

“I would 100 percent fly commercial if they made it easier for my dogs,” she revealed.

“I only go private when I want to leave Dubai for a few months with my dogs because, if I wanted to go commercial, I would have to find friends or family to fly with my dogs.

“One of my dogs is too heavy to go in the cabin anyway, and I don’t want to put my dogs through the stress of going in the cargo section.”

She explained that flying six dogs on commercial flights would require her to find five other people to be chaperones – one for each dog.

She said there was also a rule on most airlines restricting how many dogs could be on one flight, and that restriction was often three dogs maximum.

Because of this, it would require taking two different commercial flights.

Flying private allowed her to avoid all this.

On private, she said her dogs got to roam free in the jet, they each got their own seat, and they generally just slept and ate treats.

And speaking of treats, Alex also revealed another perk that came with flying private.

“You get to choose whatever you want to eat before getting on board. It can be anything from their menu or you can ask them to get you any food, including from your favorite restaurant or even McDonald’s,” she said.
