Biden flew to DC on a luxurious Boeing 737 private jet with its own master bedroom and shower - see inside

  • President Joe Biden flew to Washington, DC on a Boeing 737 private jet instead of an Air Force plane.
  • The airliner-turned-private-jet is favored among the wealthy jet set for its range and spacious cabin.
  • Amtrak was the president's first choice of transport but security concerns scrubbed the plan.

President Joe Biden arrived in Washington, DC ahead of his inauguration not on a US Air Force plane, but on a chartered private jet.

A Boeing Business Jet 737 flew Biden from Delaware New Castle Airport to Andrews Air Force Base on Tuesday, taking the then-president-elect to the nation's capital in style and luxury as the aircraft is typically reserved for the upper echelon of private flyers. Biden had used a similar but less luxurious 737 on the campaign trail after initially turning one down.

California's Jet Edge International operates the airliner-turned-private jet, a veritable flying penthouse apartment complete with a master bedroom and onboard shower. The aircraft is ideal for intercontinental flying as its amenities allow for it to be a true home away from home.

Biden only used the jet for a quick 78-nautical mile hop as security concerns thwarted the president's preferred method of transportation between the two cities, Amtrak. It was likely his last flight on the plane as he'll have access to an entire fleet of luxurious military planes and helicopters to transport him anywhere he wants to go.

And now that the 737 no longer being used by the president, the plane can be chartered by anybody that can afford the high price tag. An hour alone on the jet is likely in the tens of thousands of dollars.

Take a look inside this Boeing Business Jet 737.
