In September 2008 Rossy, whose jet-pack can reach speeds of around 200 kilometers (124 miles) an hour, gained international attention when he became the first winged person to make a successful crossing of the Channel.

The problem with jetpacks in general is that they have a very limited flight time. In this case I bet after crossing the Channel (which took him 10 minutes) he would have to refuel.
However I guess that would be enough for getting around a city: "OK, I have to go to work honey." *powers jetpack*

"Now to parachute calmly into the parking lot. Oh, great, there's a fire. I'm going to land in it. Oh, great."
