Not really a question, but I'd like to point out a misspelling on your pricing page. "Full use of exclusive security lanes so you can arrives 30 minutes before departure" -- I believe this should be "arrive", not "arrives".

Thanks for reporting that, deploying a fix now.

Saying "subscription" and also telling us a per-flight price is confusing to me. Reading the page didn't clear it up particularly quickly either.

What exactly is the price and what exactly does it buy me?

It's a monthly subscription. The price depends on how many flights you want. Each one-way flight is $105. E.g. So if you want four one-way flights per month it would be $420/month.

So basically just $105/single direction flight

Yes, but it sounds like you pre-pay, and I would guess the unused flights do not roll over.

That's right, it's a monthly subscription (you're billed monthly). Unused flights don't rollover. But if you know you're not going to use some flights in a given month, you can send them to family or friends for free.

Are you in any way related to Uber? This image looks like very similar to the Uber app: https://static.staging.flyteleport.com/8ae11ce9af919542b4055....

Not related in any way, although our service aims to be closer to their offering rather than conventional airlines’.

That is just an early mock-up and doesn’t reflect our app as it is now. I’ll see what I can do to get this updated!

Can I buy access to the Teleport security line without taking a flight?
Re:Show HN: Monthly subscription flights between SF and LA f... by Rjevski on Monday June 11, 2018 @09:54AM (#17284172)
Hey, no unfortunately our lines are exclusive to Teleport members.

Schedule?
Re:Show HN: Monthly subscription flights between SF and LA f... by dannyminutillo on Monday June 11, 2018 @06:11PM (#17289075)
We're still working on the schedule and obtaining feedback re when people want to fly. But for now, flights depart about every hour and a half between 4pm-10pm on Friday and Sunday nights and same on Monday mornings between 5am-9am.
