We can just imagine champange, music, flashing lights, beautiful women, waitresses and a raging upscale party in this luxury jet interior. The Dassault Falcon 7X Deisgn is a collaborative effort from BMW Group Designworks USA and Dassault Aviation for the Falcon 7X business jet. The design aims to make the cabin feel larger with subtle curves, a long arch on the carpet, long lines and bigger windows. We’d be happy to fly in this puppy any day. Full press release after the jump.

Gas Prices so High that Diddy Flies Commercial

September 3rd, 2008 by BallerRide

Outrageously high gas prices are no longer just affecting your average Joe.  According to the video above, posted last Wednesday by Diddy’s camp, even the rapper has taken to flying commercial in an effort to save dough on his bi-monthly trips from New York to LA, which previously cost him between $200,000-$500,000 roundtrip on his private jet. Although Diddy’s still flying first class, we’re a little surprised to see him on American Airlines.  Has the fat lady just sung?

For a laugh, FunnyorDie’s Saudi response video is worth checking out.
