This two-hour immersive experience lands on Nassau Street in downtown Princeton for a limited run from May 27 – June 7, 2026 — arriving right on time, as communities across the country search for more meaningful ways to reconnect. Set aboard a mock airplane flight, Business Class© invites the public to step beyond echo chambers and performative small talk through shared, real-time interaction across the armrest. Seat 1A is not guaranteed.
Using the airplane as metaphor for our society - with crammed rows in economy class, and luxurious socks in first - passengers take part in a facilitated dialogue experience that moves from the departure lounge and seat allocation, to onboard drinks service and landing.
The flight offers a rare and playful opportunity to examine our own assumptions and behaviors, as well as the broader norms that shape our community and workplaces, with strangers, friends and neighbors alike. Participants can expect small-group discussion, storytelling and individual reflection, and will disembark with renewed connections, fresh perspectives, deeper empathy, and a stronger sense of action toward building a better world to come. No performing or acting is required and passengers are invited to share as much or as little as they would like.

Our Captain Schutt, CP and Princeton High graduate, has worked in over 20 countries and six continents, and is Senior Advisor to the British Council's Venice Art Biennale Fellowships Programme, and a former Fellow and MBA course director at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School. She has been described as "brilliant," "a ray of sunshine" and "an incredible facilitator - her warmth made me feel immediately at ease." In other words, she doesn't have a pilot license.
Past participants and frequent flyers share their experiences on our testimonial page and below - simply summed up by one as "The flight we all need to take to find our common future."
