"It was superb. No lines, no stress, no early check in," Ott said.
Ott, originally from New York, and Burns, from London, met in New York City through mutual friends, and are both keen tennis players. "We survived long distance between New York and London for over a year," Ott said. "We saved tons of points and have had some awesome trips."
The couple were able to "just hop on the plane, bring some fun along, and kick back." Luckily, they got to have the entire jet to themselves.
They brought a bottle of wine to celebrate their success in scoring the free flight. Of course, the wine cost more than the private jet ride.
They also brought a pack of cards along for entertainment.
And enjoyed complimentary snacks on the flight.
When they get bored of the views from their spacious, swivelling leather chairs ...
... they could see take-off and landing views from the cockpit – an experience passengers on regular commercial flights are not able to enjoy.
They could also check their smartphones freely in the air, and weren't asked to turn off their electronics. "Flying in a private jet for free, with no one else makes you feel like a king … or queen," Ott said.
"It’s a hell of a way to fly, I better not get used to it,” Ott said. Despite their luxury adventure, the couple returned to Boston on an economy flight.
