If it’s good enough for Tom Brady, it’s probably good enough for the rest of us.
The NFL legend isn’t just flying in private jets, he’s also backing them.
Wheels Up is a private aviation company backed by Tom Brady and other stars like Serena Williams and Kevin Durant.
Founded in 2013 by aviation entrepreneur Kenny Dichter, Wheels Up set out to make private aviation more accessible (relatively speaking).

The company operates on a membership model, with three core options: Connect, Core, and Business.
A membership starts from $8,500 per year, plus a $100,000 fund deposit, so it definitely doesn’t come cheap.
Customers get access to a diverse fleet of aircraft, from sleek King Air turboprops to long-range jets, with concierge-level service and 24/7 support.

For those who are not ready to commit to a membership, Wheels Up also offers on-demand charter flights and limited pay-as-you-fly options.
While it’s not quite the same as Uber, for the right price, you can be wheels-up in as little as 24 hours.
But if you don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars to blow on a private jet membership, you’re in luck.
Wheels Up recently announced an exciting new perk: private jet transfers to Europe in partnership with Delta Air Lines.
While the airline is no stranger to providing luxury travel experiences, such as using a Porsche 911 to shuttle travelers with tight layovers, this might be even better.
Travelers flying Delta One to select European cities can book private Wheels Up flights, connecting them closer to their final destination.
The list of cities reads like a honeymoon brochure: Nice, Naples, Athens, Barcelona, and Rome.
This collaboration intends to target a growing demand for personalized travel in the post-pandemic era.

Flying private will allow you to skip the dreaded airport chaos in major European cities, allowing you to arrive at the airport right before departure.
In a world where convenience is king, it doesn’t get any better than traveling on a private jet.
And if all this still doesn’t cut it for you, perhaps you could consider buying your own private jet.
