Yes, that's real. SFO to LAX takes about 55 minutes in the air. We have faster turn around than major airlines when we're on the ground because of the private terminals

Uber for planes seems pretty impossible :)

We're planning on flying Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. And we'll have about 6 flights a day departing from each location. This is just the schedule we'll start out with and we'll add more days and times as we grow.

Yes, we contract with regional part 121 airlines that fly and operate the flights. Skywest, Express Jet, etc. These are the same airlines that partner with Delta, United, and American Airlines to run their regional routes.

Thanks for the feedback. We're in the process of redesigning the site. Lots of people have pointed this out, so we appreciate the comments.

Yes, Surf Air is very expensive. We want to bring the cost of flying down substantially so you can make those quick trips to southern ca if needed.

LAX and SFO is a very popular route, so we figured we'd start there. Runway fees aren't too bad if we use the private terminals. We hope to expand to OAK and BUR and all other major routes in California.

We're redoing the website based on everyone's feedback.

Yes, exactly. Just arrive 15 minutes before departure time.

A private terminal is a smaller terminal in a different location than the main terminal. The private terminals are used for private planes. We don't fly private planes. We fly regional planes, however, they still meet the size requirements to take off and land at private terminals. There are never any lines and they have their own security system. So you can show up 15 minutes before the flight and still make it.

We're using stripe

Sorry about that, we're in the process of fixing the site now.

Sorry about that, we're working on fixing the site now.

We're currently speaking with companies about something similar to this.

It is use it or lose it flights. Flights don't role over. We're kicking around the idea of trying to make giving unused flights to friends or family work.

Companies have shown a lot of interest in this. Most beneficial aspect is booking late with paying a high fare.

The private terminal aspect is why we charge a little more than other airlines' lowest fares. It looks like we need to do a better job of highlighting the private terminal feature on our site. Thanks for the great feedback.

Thanks for the great feedback. This was our site's first draft so we really appreciate your comments. We'll definitely update it and keep your points above the fold on the homepage. We weren't aware that the private terminals are such an appealing feature to people, but that aspect has been a feature that we've been receiving a lot of positive feedback about so we appreciate you pointing it out. Thank you again and we'll make those changes by tomorrow.

Would anyone use this? Trying to get some user feedback.

nice article!
