P.S: Forget Paying Our Staff, Let's Party!


Highball sends us this dispatch from the skies:
"If your G-V is otherwise occupied, here's an acceptable commercial alternative for coast-to-coast travel. In the days where domestic US First Class is increasingly pedestrian, United launched "p.s." last fall, a premium flight service between JFK and L.A. and recently started service to San Francisco. There are 7 transcontinental flights daily in the smaller but quicker to turn around 757 aircraft. These p.s. flights offer lie flat seats in First and oversized leather seating in Business and have the same amentities of international flight that we are otherwise denied while crossing the heartland. Thank you to United for spending its last bits of capital to service the high end traveler instead of paying its staff! Although it could never match the best international flights of its competitors, at least this is a start."

For international travel to Germany, W4 suggest Lufthansa's new 48 seat all-business class PrivatAir service. Eos, a new venture to offer all business JFK to London Stansted service in 757 aircrafts could also prove to be a welcome addition as well but for now we're sticking with British Airways.
+United P.S., JFK to LAX and SFO daily, +1 800 241 6522.
+PrivatAir, Newark and Chicago to Munich and Dusseldorf.
+"The Frill is Gone", 9 June, NY Times.
+Eos Airlines.
+"New era dawns for the business-class only airline", 9 June, London Independent.
