Commercial domestic airlines in the US are effectively nationalized. The first time I flew AirIndia I noticed how terrible the service was, it being a government entity.

Now all domestic airlines in the US are like AirIndia. Flying private/charter is the only choice, I wouldn't trust a commercial pilot for long haul or international travel.

For all of my travel in mainland US, I fly private. $2k Miami to NY for example is very reasonable. But I don’t know of any service which offers shared private across the Atlantic, I just can’t justify spending 50k on a flight.

Is the only real option for the 8 figure club to buy a jet card/fractional for international private flight?

What service is this?

Sounds like Blade. Wheels Up is usually more than $2k for that route.
