Default The next doomed Stansted NYC business jet

I expect the clients will be sufficiently comfortable in the business
jet.


Not compared to the significantly cheaper first class seats on a
commercial flight.


Regular business class is sufficiently comfortable for most people.


Yes, and a lot cheaper, with a choice of dozens of flights a day on the
NYC-LON route. Bliss will have just one flight a week, so most pax will
need to use another airline for one leg of a return trip. They might as
well use scheduled airlines for both legs, as they will need to do for any
trips that don't fit with Bliss's once a week service. And most corporate
execs will work for companies that have arrangements with preferred
airlines.

I'd have thought Bliss would do better to aim at a less well-served route.


And: "Bliss Jet will limit seat sales well below the maximum
aircraft’s capacity for extra comfort..."


They must have be reacting to feedback, but that makes the business model
trickier still.
