One Man And His Dog

June 25, 2009

Welcome to our new feature pages about recent flights.

We fly to and from so many varied destinations we thought you might like to read about some of our more interesting routes or requests.

As the first of our new feature pages we thought we’d tell you about a client who recently flew from Paris to London on one of our charters because she loves her dog.  Unlike a commercial flight where pets must be on a travel cage or box and travel in the hold or a dedicated part of the cabin, we allow pets to travel with our passengers.

It’s surprising the number of clients that would prefer not to cage their beloved pets and like to have their pet with them for the flight.  It’s a much better experience for the pet and conducive to good welfare.  A flight can be a traumatic experience for a pet at the best of times and comemrcially, that’s a journey they have to make alone.  When they travel on a private jet charter with us, they can be constantly re-assured by their owner and the owner is constantly aware of how the pet is.

We have specialists in pet transport and take care of all local regulations for you to make a journey with your pet as easy and hassle free as a journey without.

If you need to transport a pet and would prefer to do it the “nice” way, call us now and you and your pets can become Jet Booking Direct VIP’s today.

Shared Cost Private Jet Charter

June 18, 2009

Our M1NT Syndicate programme gives members the opportunity to enjoy private air travel at a fraction of the cost by flying with other M1NT Syndicate members.

There are those that argue that a syndicate flight ceases to fall into the category of “private jet charters” as the passengers no longer have the exclusivity and privacy that a private jet charter would offer.  This is true but there are many other benefits afforded to those flying on a private jet via a private jet terminal or general aviation airfield.

Invariably it’s possible to choose a departure point which is closer to your base location than a larger commercial airport. Secondly and perhaps the biggest benefit of flying on a private jet is the reduced check-in and wait time.  On the vast majority of our flights the check-in time is only ten minutes and this applies to both private charters and syndicate flights. On a commercial flight (even in first class which is the closest comparison to private charters) the average time spent at the airport from arrival to airborne is around one and a half hours, and in some cases can be up to three hours.  This time is made up of parking, check-in, security and boarding.

On a M1NT Syndicate flight with Jet Booking Direct you will still receive the same VIP treatment that private jet charter customers enjoy:  VIP ground handling and clearance; quick check-in and VIP catering, but you get to achieve that at only a fraction of the cost.

So, in summary it is not technically Private Jet Charter but you still get to enjoy every other benefits at a price that will often rival those offered for first class travel with a commercial airline.

If you’re interested in joining our M1NT Syndicate program just click here. You will also earn M1NT Rewards points for every flight.

CEO’s Still Using Private Jets

June 15, 2009

Many Company Executives are still using private jets despite negative media as we slump towards global recession.

It’s no surprise when you consider than many benefits offered by flying private.  Many large corporations insist that Executives use private jets for business and personal travel as a security measure, and many don’t have time to waste waiting in airports.

Some companies have stopped the use of private jets entirely and some others are moving away from ownership to managed private charter services like our M1NTCard, but overall, the money spent on the use of private jets is reported to be at the highest level in the last five years.

By moving to managed jet charter services, clients are continuing to enjoy the benefits of private travel without the high cost of owning an aircraft. This move is one that works well for both the shareholder and the busy Executive. Overheads are massively reduced but the level of security and time saving benefits are unaffected.

Private jet charter is also increasing for company flights, although the per flight cost is slightly higher than with a managed service, it means that there is no up-front investment and no short or long term commitment.  For many, this means that travel expenses will often go relatively unnoticed.

New offices in Florida, Grand Cayman and New Jersey.

June 11, 2009

We are very happy to announce that we are opening offices in Florida, Grand Cayman and New Jersey to meet demand in the USA, Caribbean and Central & South America.

Our website www.JetBookingDirect.com was launched on 1 November 2008 after the merger of the former owners of Complete Charter Services and Southern Air Charters, initially targeting the UK and Western Europe.

Following unparalleled success in Europe it’s time for us to take our service offering further afield. This expansion was always part of our plan and it enables us to provide clients in the USA, the Caribbean and Central & South America with the level of service they deserve. We’ll no longer have issues with the time difference and we’ll be able to respond to our Client’s needs in a timely fashion.

The office in Grand Cayman will be open for the start of business on Tuesday 16 June and will be followed immediately by Florida and New Jersey. There are further plans to expand into the United Arab Emirates, Australia and West Coast USA by the end of this year.

With a focus on Customer Service, a competitive pricing structure and superior aircraft, we have sustained continual growth at a time where many in the industry are feeling the effects of the economic downturn.

We are totally committed to providing unsurpassed service and unmatched pricing. In the current economic climate, many large organisations are turning to managed jet charter services as opposed to jet ownership. This reduces overheads and satisfies share holders, whilst still offering the benefits of private aviation: reduced check in times; more convenient departure points and total privacy.

This moves gives existing and potential Customers 24/7 global service from a leader in Private Jet Charters.

Phuket Private Jet Terminal

June 5, 2009

In the expansion plans for Phuket International Airport are considerations to open a dedicated private jet terminal.

It is proposed that private investors will be responsible for the development and that it will be constructed separately from the main terminal building. It’s thought that if the plans go ahead, the terminal will offer VIP ground handling services and hospitality that rivals five star hotels.

Private Jet Charters are a growing business and are being recognised by many to be the most time efficient way to travel. Many airports have or are considering private terminals to enhance their service offering and increase their revenue. Airports with dedicated private travel facilities are the perfect partner as they promote a speedy departure and reduce delays on arrival.

We’ll be reviewing some of these Flight Booking Offices (FBO’s) in our regular web feature. Some come back and read about them and please add your experiences.
