This YouTuber took his subscribers with him when he traveled aboard a Gulfstream G450 private jet.

Jetting off to the Caribbean already sounds nice enough.

However, Jeb Brooks got to do this in style on the stunning G450.

He was kind enough to show his 800k subscribers what it was like to fly in the lap of luxury.

On board the Gulfstream G450

The flight itself was from Greensboro, North Carolina in the US to Sint Marteen – a four-hour flight covering 2,575km (1,600 miles).

Jeb caught the flight from a Fixed Base Operator at the airport, where he only needed to arrive twenty minutes before take-off.

Things were already looking pretty cushy, with a nice lounge to wait in and no need for security queues before boarding.

Up to 14 people can fly on the plane, but only eight people were traveling on Jeb’s flight.

Inside the plane, there was a sofa that could pull out into a bed, in addition to the other seats.

Snacks were already laid out for the picking.

No need to wait for the food cart to come down the aisle on a G450.

An alternative way to avoid the hustle and bustle of mainstream air travel would be to build your own plane, much like this Wisconsin man.

Luxury and relaxation at 40,000 feet

Jeb told his viewers: “Usually on a flight like this, you’d need to stop in Atlanta or Charlotte, but not when you’re flying private. It’s non-stop.”

When it came time to take to the air, Jeb got the chance to check out the tray table in front of him.

On a normal plane, you’d be struggling for space and barely have enough space for food, drink or a book.

But on a G450, you could probably fit a three course meal on there – and it’s clean enough to double as a mirror too.

Jeb’s wife got comfortable in her reclining chair, without having to worry about intruding on any passengers behind her.

A screen onboard the plane provided flight updates to the passengers, notifying them that their flight had changed direction slightly.

It was no longer going straight into the Atlantic from North Carolina and was passing down through Florida.

On a normal commercial flight, you would need to wait for the pilot to update you about such a change over a tannoy.

In fact, on a G450, you can walk into the cockpit itself and speak to the pilots yourself.

Doing that on a normal flight would get you into a lot of trouble.

Jeb and his wife tucked into delicious breakfast foods – a breakfast burrito and continental breakfast respectively.

And what’s a bit of luxury without some champagne?

Even the plane’s toilet – usually the most dreaded part of a long flight – was a delight.

Its wooden paneling and live flowers scream ‘homely’, which is exactly what you want out of a bathroom.

It’s safe to say that Jeb enjoyed his flight.

Perhaps if he’s lucky, he’ll find himself being invited on a Gulfstream G700 yet – perhaps Jeff Bezos would be feeling generous?

The newest private jet has everything you could want – both on land and in the sky.
