Private jet from teteroboro if we get put in dayton

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Have a feeling that the committee is going to put us in the field but due to a lack of road wins make us win one in Dayton. Booking a flight two days in advance is always expensive, I believe it’s Close to the same cost as booking a private jet if shared between people. If the cost is reasonable ($500-$750 round trip) who would be down to catch a private jet from Teterboro to Dayton? I know round trip to vegas is about $1400 have to imagine dayton is significantly cheaper

 

[ouchmyknee]

Let’s do it.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Let’s do it.

The other benefit is we can pick what time we takeoff and we can come home right after the game and be at work the next day

 

[MV9000]

If I didn’t already have a suite in AC I’d be all over this.

 

[RU848789]

Could happen if we lose out, but I think we win one more and will be a 10 seed. And if we go to Dayton, it's only a ~7 hour drive (600 miles) and I hate flying, lol.

 

[Shell21]

Bac,
What do you think? if we lose the next 2, will we be destined for dayton?

Agree with him or disagree with him, bottom line is ya gotta love @kyk1827 's passion! Great idea. I'm not in for a handful of reasons, but still an awesome idea. :)

S F Austin is now 27-3. That is a good win for us now, do not care who they play and they beat Duke.

I think I remember reading somewhere that because of the short notice the NCAA takes care of the travel arrangements for the team's going to Dayton. Plus I also think that week is spring break at Rutgers so they don't have to rush back. Plus we intended to have another game two days after our Dayton game

No team is rushing back for classes during March madness even if school in in session

Think the point wasn't about the team but rather getting is fans out to Ohio.

This article says prices are typically in the $1000 per person per flight hour range, so a 4 hour RT to Dayton would be $4000 per person according to this. There are cheaper deals that are one way on short notice, but unless you know something I don't, the costs aren't cheap per person. Having flown once for work on the corporate jet, it is pretty sweet, though...

600 miles is driveable in one day if you have a group. You arrive in Dayton when you want and have local transportation while you’re there. Split a hotel room and get a game ticket and you’re all set to see RU live.

Our 2020 Masters golf crew will be driving 450 miles to a hotel in Statesboro GA and then a short drive the next day to the Masters for Tues practice round. Most economical way to go, as long as ur ok with car rides.

Talked to a girl I know who went to Dayton. She said the move is fly to cincy united and just take a 40 minute uber.

I'm crossing Augusta off my bucket list with the Tuesday practice round this year as well -- AGNC better have their own hidden stash of Coronavirus vaccines if the US starts having sporting events with no fans lol

That's why I said 600 miles in 7 hours, to goad @RU4Real into trying to defend his title from the Orlando bowl game, where they just beat us - I don't think he does basketball so the goading may be necessary, lol.

 

[Pancho1939]

this would be awesome except if rutgers loses we would have to sit through you complaining about pikiel, the team, his offense, his recruiting, his substitutions, his extension and whatever else went wrong in the game the whole flight home. i would rather get a lobotomy.

 

[Scangg]

Love the idea. Would be in if I still lived in Jersey. Still trying to figure out what to do with my best friends bachelor party weekend in Mexico starting Thursday. I need to be at the dance

Hey, I'm on the list for basketball season tickets for next year. The wife and I made 2 games this year and she got the bug.

600 miles in 7 hours is doable. I did Detroit in 8 hours flat, with @MYHATINTHERING in the right seat and that was in an older A4 that's a little down on power as compared to the two Audis we currently have in the inventory.

The secret to high average speeds is to utilize ALL of your open road opportunities (clear lines of sight, little to no traffic in front of you) to get to your top end and hold it until you lose your wide-open conditions. So in the course of a normal freeway run you're accelerating from 70ish to 140+, holding it as long as you can - even if it's only for a few seconds - then reintegrating with the flow of traffic.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

I'm on standby ready to contact bars and the alumni association to organize pre-game parties when the location and date is announced! Can't F'in wait !

haha dude, you're suggesting driving 600 miles in 7 hours? That's basically a 7 hour average speed of 90mph lol which I could def do but id imagine with jersey plates you'd get pulled over minimum 3x

Good to hear! If I can persuade @mildone to go and drive the Porsche, then we have a good shot, lol, although my Civic Si is faster than @AreYouNUTS's car, lol. But my fervent hope is still not having to play in Dayton, which I think we locked up last night. And if the coronavirus is getting worse in 2 weeks, as expected, but they still have the games with fans, I'd probably even do the Cannonball Run to Sacramento (instead of breathing in all that coronavirus), as I'm retired, so, you know, I have time...

It's more like a 9 hour drive if you live in north or central jersey, even if you're driving fast. Commercial flights to Dayton are cheap. Used to be one direct from EWR daily with United, now another carrier has it.

 

[Myrtleknight]

From what I understand, there is extremely high demand for private air travel at the moment and pricing is reflecting that.

Id likely drive (with someone) ti Dayton, Albany, Greensboro or Cleveland. Fly to Tampa.

I have no time to go, unfortunately. Barely have time to visit the forum these days. Been trying to catch the BB games on TV, though. Last night's game was great.

Gotta say that I'd prefer either driving or, if I have to fly, flying non-commercial at the moment. Too much exposure to pressurized viral air flying commercial. I'm not wasting time worrying over COVID-19. But I'm not trying to do things to invite unnecessary exposure to it either.

someone on this board (perhaps you - thanks) posted something about WAZE on a thread about driving out to the Quick Lane Bowl. It was the first time I used it and it saved me a few times on that trip. I broke it up and stayed in Pittsburgh Christmas night, but did it in about 9 hours overall driving time in an F150.

Probably someone else. The reality around Waze is that the cops are NEVER where the app says they are. You're better off exercising good judgement and great road awareness, with the help of a high-quality radar detector.

I've tried Waze on a few occasions and always find that it fails to add value.

Car companies are starting to implement vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communications. It's the great enabler, along with Vehicle to Infrastructure. In a few years we'll see radar detectors that automatically transmit the real-time positions of valid targets to the map displays of all other similarly enabled vehicles. Escort already has something similar with their Escort Live app.

600 miles, all interstates, without major traffic problems is 7 hours, averaging 86 mph, which is doable with one 10 minute stop for gas and to take a leak. Charlotte is 630 miles from my house and I've made it there in under 8 hours many times, but it has also taken 9+ when there was traffic/construction.

I've personally done the drive at least two dozen times and:
a) whether you take 80 or 78/PA tpk, you will always hit a bottleneck (trucks, lane closures, etc) somewhere.
b) if you average 86MPH over 600 miles, you are driving like an idiot/a-hole. Particularly in a half beat Audi. Lose a sway bar bushing at those speeds and they'll be using dental records to figure out your identity. Then again, Audi drivers are the new "that guy" on the roads that Beemers used to be.

I will tell you what, though. If rutgers ends up in Dayton, somehow, I will open the betting at $500 that you can't make it there in 7 hours.

I have a friend who is a cop who RECOMMENDS Waze over radar/laser detectors. With pulsed radar and laser, it's one blip, and you're clocked.

All radar is "pulsed". That's how it works. And lasers require several pulses to arrive at a complete speed calculation. If you have a good detector, you have about 2 seconds from first alert to lock. When you hear the laser tone (they are *very* distinct with respect to the detector's other tones) you have to stand on the brake pedal.

It works just fine. Also, cops can't "hide" and use laser guns, since they require uninterrupted line of sight to work. See my previous post.

Waze is, by definition, legacy data. It tells you where the cops were at some previous point in time. 99 times out of 100, by the time you get to that point they're not there anymore.

Which carrier has direct flights from Newark now that you mentioned? None come up on Kayak, expedia or any real airline search engines. And, there are no cheap flights from Newark to Dayton that I am seeing. Thanks

Best of Luck,

The biggest danger, by far, is unmarked cars travelling on the road with you. At least in NJ these days. Neither Waze, nor radar/laser detectors are going to help with that. Pattern recognition is what helps here.

Cops just running radar (of pretty much any kind) are not really much of a threat to knowledgeable speeders. And Laser detection never really did much good anyway. Laser shifting works great, but has hefty initial purchase and install costs.

Anyway, most people shouldn't speed. Even 80mph is way too fast for the level of attention I've observed in most other drivers. Between people driving too fast in cars they shouldn't and people who are driving fast with the same inattentiveness they have when driving 75, and people driving too slow in the left lane, the highway is crazy dangerous.

I pick and choose my driving times to avoid other cars.
