What the experts are saying about smarter business travel..does it really help
May 13th
On an regular basis articles appear about smarter business travel but very little of the advice seems to help. You can take your personal GPS so that you don’t get lost once you are on the ground and on your way to a client meeting, or pack carefully and wear slip on shoes to get through security more quickly, but none of this will help you when the plane is delayed and you are going to miss your meeting. Not everyone us the option to fly privately but if you looked at the cost savings you could fly “semi-privately” – that is share the private jet with others. Doing this would allow business travelers to finally have control over there schedules and probably less time on the road because the travel would be more efficient. Being a member of jet-it-together.com is a great way to connect with others for sharing jet trips. If you are part of a company that has an intranet you may be able to work with your corporate travel manager or HR to create a place to post travel plans as well as information about sharing private jet options. This way employees can communicate with one another to figure out whether or not they could share a private jet trip. Another option is to connect through TripIt on LinkedIn to find out people’s travel plans and see if you could fly together privately.
Sharing Private Jets: Price and Service Matter
Jan 27th
Last November “The Plane Conversations” blog highlighted how the private jet industry should take a few lessons from Southwest Airlines. After reading the entry and others comments, I must say that Jet-It-Together is definitely going in the direction that the blog highlights. Foremost are the following factors: price, simplicity, and reliable service.
Jet-It-Together keeps the pricing structure simple. When you go to “Plan a Trip” on http://www.jet-it-together.com/flight_plan22.aspx and in put your itinerary you receive an estimated price based on 4 people sharing a jet. This allows you to know the ballpark cost that you will be working with. If more members join the price will go down. And, if a member decides that he wants to charter the entire jet for himself that can be done as well.
We want our members to enjoy traveling with us and to tell their friends and colleagues about the service. The more people that are members the easier it is to find travelers to share trips. Our customer service is high touch and we want to know what people think about our service.
