Hey everyone! One of the co-founders of Teleport here. Would love to hear what you think about it and happy to answer your questions!

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?

Hey, no unfortunately our lines are exclusive to Teleport members.

Schedule?

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.
