New Service Lets You Hitch a Ride With Private Planes For Cost of Tank of Gas

Posted by samzenpus on from the going-my-way? dept.

v3rgEz (125380) writes "A new service, Airpooler, matches pilots with passengers looking to head the same way. Since it's not an officially licensed charter service, prices are limited to roughly the passengers' share of the gas, giving pilots a way to share the expense of enjoying the open blue and flyers a taste of their personal pilot."

    I don't think I want to get into an unknown plane flown by an unknown pilot who needs to share the fuel bill.

    Granted, it's probably not going to be the most gentile landing

    So I should look to land on a nice cushy Rabbi?
