The Personal Airplane Is Taking Off
It's very difficult to beat the cost, safety and reliability of commercial airlines. If you have $250k burning a hole in your pocket, something like a Cirrus or Corvalis is probably a more useful option for trips up to about 1000nm.

Guessing that's Nautical Miles and not Nano Meters.

Yes. nm is the standard abbreviation for nautical miles in the aviation world.

$250K buys a lot of NetJets time as well.
