    "The two most important points are that you have to book at least seven days in advance, and can have at most four one-way reservations active at any point. By my math, that means you’ll get at most 16 one-way tickets booked per month. At most." [0]

    "Netflix for planes" is just confusing. I literally read the title and thought this was about movie rental on aircraft... Then found the article incredibly confusing....

    Honestly the title would be clearer as:

    "OneGo to offer almost unlimited air travel within the US for a monthly fee."

    As to the service: Seems incredibly niche. Inter-US flights are pretty inexpensive, and this doesn't seem like it breaks even unless you fly an unusual number of times in a given period (roughly 8 per month by my count, give or take).

    I got real excited about this until I read this part:

    "OneGo offers unlimited travel within the United states via all major U.S. airlines."
